“Intellectually and Morally Indefensible”: Montana Court Blocks Trans-Exclusionary Law Defining Sex

A Montana court has struck down Senate Bill 458, a law that sought to define sex and gender in a strictly binary and immutable manner based on perceived chromosomal makeup at birth. The bill was challenged by a group of trans, intersex, and Two Spirit Montanans who argued that it violated their civil rights in various aspects of public life, including housing, employment, and healthcare. The court ruled that substituting licensed medical professionals’ opinions with legislators’ beliefs was unconstitutional and that even minority groups deserve protection under the law.

Transgender lawmakers Rep. SJ Howell (photo) and Rep. Zooey Zephyr have argued that the bill would legally misdefine them and effectively write them out of state law.
