A Montana judge ruled a law requiring transgender people to have surgery before they change the gender on their birth certificate violates the state's constitution.
On Thursday, District Court Judge Michael G. Moses ruled the law violated equal protections, privacy and due process concerns for plaintiffs under Montana’s state constitution.
Before legislators passed SB 280 last April, transgender people could amend their birth certificates by submitting a attesting to the fact they had transitioned genders, by providing a state-issued identification card with the different gender or by providing a court order indicating a gender change.
