Oklahoma judge refuses to let men planning sex-change operations have feminine names

[rug]

James Dean Ingram Ingram paid $155 to file a court petition to legally be known as Angela Renee Ingram. A judge rejected the request Aug. 30.

Oklahoma County District Judge Bill Graves has denied names changes in two cases where a man was planning a sex-change operation and wanted a feminine name to go along with his new identity. The judge ruled the requests were made for fraudulent purpose.

An Oklahoma County judge is refusing to let men planning sex-change operations switch to feminine names.

District Judge Bill Graves has denied name changes in two such cases so far — last year and again in August. The judge ruled both times the requests were made for a fraudulent purpose.

“I wanted to give up and just die,'' said James Dean Ingram, who asked to legally be known as Angela Renee Ingram but was turned down Aug. 30.

“It's so important because it's who I am. I can't be who I am with a male name,” Ingram said.

1. "I can't be who I am with a male name" - a rose by any other name.....

2. Apparently only *obviously* feminine names are a problem...

So names like Terry, Lindsey, Leslie, etc. are acceptable (?)
