Is it true that congress passed a transgender bill?
I am looking for any black and white text on a government site or anything that affirms this is true. I have been told by numerous people that congress passed a bill that states if a transgender person has a sex change in any other country than America that social security will not change the gender marker. I seek proof of this.

People don't get discouraged by this yet! This may only be gossip I am looking for hard proof!!

If this is true i think its horrible that oboma's stuff like foreign trade policy now includes transgender people..like we are vehicles and they can put trade restrictions on our bodies or something!

I have read this was true on like 2 websites but found no solid proof yet!

" I was told by a friend (Emanuel Cleaver II US Congress) that this is not true. It would be a career killer in politics. He has been a friend of the family for a few years and I believe that he would not lie to me. So anyway I hope that this helps. "
