Can Transsexual be married in the United States?
If so, do they have the same benefits as the heterosexual marriage? such as taxes paid, property inherit and buying insurance for each other and stuff. Thank you!
It depends on the state. There are a number of states that forbid gay marriage and allow TS marriage.
A TS is a woman wrongly born with male parts, or a man wrongly born with female parts. An MtF TS who likes men is a heterosexual, since she is truly a woman inside where it matters. Likewise an FtM who likes women is a heterosexual since he is truly a man inside where it matters. The law has yet to catch up with this idea in a number of places.
Let me correct the post above mine:
A transsexual may marry a person of the opposite physical sex in the United States. For example, if a woman wrongly born in a male body has undergone sexual reassignment surgery and has legally changed her sex designation to female, marriage to a man is legal. I suggest that any transsexual, after undergoing sexual reassignment surgery, procure a legal name change order which includes an order to modify the sex on the birth certificate.

Gender is inborn and can NEVER be changed. A transsexual woman, is born with a feminine gender in the brain since before birth, but is wrongly born with a male sex. Since it is impossible for her to change her gender to masculine, she must change her sex (body) to match who it is. I am a transsexual someday going to get sex-reassignment surgery to fix the body. I am not transgender, I'm not in the process of changing my gender, I'm not gender variant, and I won't get surgery to attempt to change my gender (brain wiring to male). My gender is not what is broke, and I'm not going to cross that over to the other one. My sex (body) is what is wrong, not my gender (brain, talents, abilities, sense of being, personality). I'm not changing my gender, I've just quit pretending to be a gender other than what is my own.
It would be much better if people were raised according to their nature, and not their genitals. I don't know why family members are so obsessed with what a baby has below. Oh, they say they want to know if a baby is a boy or a girl (masculine or femine gender), but that is not what they usually care about. No, they really care about the sex (what the baby has below). That is so sad. Why are we as a society so concerned about other people's sex organs?

Answer:
That depends upon the state in which the marriage takes place. Some states have laws that explicitly prohibit it. Those that permit gay marriage, by implication, could be construed to permit it.
There is very little caselaw on the subject. Courts in Florida, Ohio, Kansas and Texas have rejected it - but, in some jurisdictions the law or the interpretation of it may have changed since the cases were decided.
In the US the genatils(sp) rule. Whatever your sexual organs are that is what you are...you usually can marry the opposite sex.
