Idaho's transgender birth certificate ban goes back to court.
Rebecca Boone / AP fileBOISE, Idaho — The group whose lawsuit successfully forced the state of Idaho to allow transgender people to change the genders on their birth certificates has returned to court on Thursday, asking a judge to affirm that her 2018 ruling that the state could not ban the changes still stands.
The move came nearly two weeks after Republican Idaho Gov. Brad Little signed into law a bill that passed despite warnings it was almost sure to generate a legal challenge because of the previous ruling. The request for affirmation of the ruling on behalf of two transgender women was filed by Boise attorney Monica Cockerille, who is working on the case with the Lambda Legal group, which defends the civil rights of lesbians, gay men, bisexuals and transgender people.
The ruling at issue came from U.S. District Judge Candy Dale, who said that Idaho's previous ban on birth certificate changes violated the Equal Protection Clause of the U.S. Constitution. At the time, she also warned the state against making new rules with the same impact.
