The ACLU of Montana has filed a lawsuit challenging a law that defines the word “sex” throughout state code as either male or female, based on a person’s biology at birth. The plaintiffs argue the law denies legal recognition and protections to people who are gender non-conforming.
The plaintiffs — a transgender man, a two spirit Native American, a nonbinary person, an intersex individual and a nurse practitioner — also moved for a summary judgement in Monday’s filing in state court in Missoula, asking for the law to be declared unconstitutional.
Republican lawmakers who supported the bill “seem to think they can simply legislate away the diversity of Montana’s residents,” Akilah Deernose, the executive director of the ACLU of Montana, said in a statement.
The sponsor of the legislation said it was needed to clarify from a legal standpoint that the words “sex” and “gender” aren’t interchangeable. That was in response to a ruling by a state judge in 2021 that overturned a law that said people had to have a surgical procedure before they could change their sex on their birth certificate. The judge ruled the law was vague because it didn’t define what type of surgery was needed and that transgender individuals should be able to change their gender on such documents. …

Whose “civil liberty” is violated? People who decide to make up a new definition and foist it onto unwilling citizens?
Sounds like the citizens are the victims.
I can make up a new term for Democrats: trash.
If others don’t like it, too bad, the ACLU will sue on my behalf.
However, if you go to a woke, progressive hospital for a sex change you have only two options: male->female or female->male.
Sounds like a Disney movie character roster.
I see their point. When I have to fill out a form that asks for sex, I generally type ‘YES’. :)
Interesting list of plaintiffs
We have a lunatic, a lunatic, a lunatic, a person with a birth defect, and a panderer to lunatics.

Photos of the plaintiffs are not needed, the words suffice.
“However, if you go to a woke, progressive hospital for a sex change you have only two options: male->female or female->male.”
Yes, you can’t go to a hospital and ask to be changed into non-binary, two-spirit, gay, lesbian, bi or +. Only male to female or vice versa. Proof that all this trans crap is insane.
In November, 2020, I thought we were down the rabbit hole.
With stuff like this, though, I realize that we still heading downward...ever deeper into the crazy world of dancing cards, life-sozed chess pieces, and a rabbit with a pocket watch...
Pray for our Nation.

Correction: ....people who are freaks.
Change the options on the form to “XX” or “XY” chromosomes.
A transgender man, a two spirit Native American, a nonbinary person, an intersex individual and a nurse practitioner walked into a bar...
Some jokes write themselves.
Can’t you get the Swiss Army Knife surgery? You get one or two of everything. They aren’t as good as if you have a specialized, one-purpose device, but you are ready for anything.
Of course...don’t they need to protect the rights of people who think they’re fungi?
(In November, 2020, I thought we were down the rabbit hole.)
The insanity is accelerating.
I’m VERY sorry to say.
It only convinces me further in regards to the lateness of the hour

There was a time when the ACLU represented Maoists *and* Nazis. Today,Nazis need not apply.
Diversity as created in the last few years by the Liberal wackos.
No difference between those two.
More like the snake hole, these days.
This reminds me of the remark that got James Watt in trouble:
"I have a black, a woman, two Jews and a cripple."
