Are transsexuals who have not gotten the lower half completely changed legally considered women?
I mean like, can they get married to a man so that it's not really gay marriage?

It actually depends on where they were born in order to change their birth certificate, which is needed for marriage. Most states and countries allow the person to change their sex marker to the other when they complete sex reassignment surgery, but not all. http://www.drbecky.com/birthcert.html lists what states will change the marker, and how to get them to do so.
If they get the marker on their birth certificate changed then yes, they are female under all aspects of the law and can get married to a man. A woman marrying a man isn't gay marriage, although I have nothing against gay marriage, transsexual women are women who just happened to have a penis at birth, they definitely didn't choose it and go through alot of pain to lose it.
Edit: I forgot to add congradulations on finding someone who you love and loves you back! I hope everything works out, and that you two can have a wonderful life together.

The only I know a little bit about this answer is, a transsexual was arrested in the county where I worked and was put in jail. From the waist up she was a girl from the waist down she was a guy. They called me in off patrol to do the strip search ( they thought as a joke) after we talked she told them I would do the strip search because none of THEM could handle it. While I was getting her changed they were trying to decide what cell block to put her in. The A$$ wipes decided to throw her in with the men. Well after the fight they put her in a single cell because part of what they said made since. She still had a penis that would make A LOT of rough women happy. She had beautiful breasts that could have gotten her hurt if not killed. So I got my way and placed her in a protection cell and made it my business that she didn't have to eat what the red necks cooked (and God knows what else). So I know in jail she was LEGALLY a man.

It depends on where you're at. Some places require the operation or at least an orchiectomy before they'll allow the legal documentation to be changed. I know New York is one place that doesn't require surgery before they'll change the documentation. Sometimes places can be tricked into changing the driver's license though. I'm not sure what ID's are needed for a marriage certificate though...

interior the united kingdom as quickly as you have a gender attractiveness certificates (GRC) you're legally the gender on the certificates. you may then have your delivery certificates corrected. there's no requirement for surgical operation, in basic terms 2 years residing as a women persons, a scientific diagnosis & purpose to stay as a women persons for existence. you may then marry a guy or have a civil partnership with a women persons. in spite of the undeniable fact that between transitioning (residing as a women persons 24/7) and receiving a GRC you're nevertheless secure decrease than the Equality Act 2010 & could be dealt with as woman with some exceptions i.e. you may no longer at the instant marry a guy (yet ought to marry a women persons), & in regulation might nevertheless be dealt with as male in case you commited an offence the place gender is an argument. you'll be dealt with as male in regard of pensions & some benifits.

What an interesting question. Sounds like one for jery springer . If your worried about marriage, why would it matter ? Gay people get married every day .
Another thought comes to mind, whenever filling out any applications, when it ask M or F , have him cross both out and fill it in Y for Yes .

definitely an interesting question. each country and each state may have differing rules and laws..
most of the world seems to support the concept of marriage being two "people" as opposed to "opposite sex only"
but the bigger issues could come into play in things like sport.. i am a pre-op transsexual who does plan to go all the way with transition.. it will be interesting to see what happens when i register to run a marathon and they ask me my sex!

I'm watching a Las Vegas court case to see where a transsexual is sent to for a murder case. I' m waiting to see where she ends up going to. I'll post this when I know.

No, not until they have completed their Gender Reassignment surgury. ONLY then can they petition the courts to legally change their birth certificate...but only if their state of residence allows it, not all do.
You really should check with your state's legal information website, if your state has one...or contact your attorney general.
