Idaho governor bans trans people from changing birth certificate gender on eve of International Transgender Day
On the eve of the International Transgender Day of Visibility, Republican Idaho Governor Brad Little signed two bills regarding trans people into law. The first bans trans people from changing the gender marked on their birth certificates, and the second prohibits trans females from competing in women's sports.
The first measure, House Bill 509, only permits birth certificates amendments to be made within one year of its filing. The legislation ignores a federal court ruling that Lambda Legal, an American LGBT rights organization, won in 2018, which declared such a policy unconstitutional. The judge found the law to be in violation of the Constitution's Equal Protection Clause, tossed it out and warned officials against enacting similar rules.
