Montana judge hears case on policies blocking transgender individuals from updating gender on IDs.

A Montana judge heard arguments about policies that prevent transgender individuals from changing their sex designation on birth certificates and driver's licenses. The case was filed by two transgender women who want documents that accurately reflect their gender. The American Civil Liberties Union argued for a temporary injunction to block these prohibitions, while the state maintained that sex is binary and not a protected class. Montana is one of seven states that do not allow changes to birth certificates.
