A Montana judge on Thursday blocked the state from enforcing a new rule that prohibited transgender people from changing their gender on their birth certificate, local media reported.
The administrative rule, which went into effect on Saturday, allowed Montanians to change the sex listed on their birth certificate only if it was incorrect due to a data entry error and only if they could prove their gender through testing or DNA, according to online state records.
The ruling comes as transgender rights have emerged as a major front in the political landscape in the United States in the run-up to the 2022 midterm elections and while conservative lawmakers across the nation have passed a flurry of bills this year directed at transgender youth.
