SALT LAKE CITY (KUTV) — The Utah Supreme Court Thursday ruled in favor for transgender people who want to change their names and genders on Utah birth certificates.
...
Equality Utah Executive Director Troy Williams stated, “It has been an unprecedented year for transgender Americans. Over 30 states introduced legislation to restrict the freedom of transgender youth. But here in Utah, we chart a different path. The Utah Legislature rejected two anti-transgender bills, and today, the Utah Supreme Court has upheld transgender rights to live freely as their authentic selves. This is ‘equality under the law’ in practice, right here in Utah.”

TEA of Utah executive director Candice Metzler stated, “Today, the State of Utah has taken a step closer to that ideal of ‘becoming a more perfect Union.’ We have chosen to create a system that actually serves all who use it. We have chosen the health of our community by sending a clear message that transgender, intersex, and gender-diverse people have a place in our communities and state. This decision will go a long way in helping such people know they belong.”

This is so stupid. I can’t believe this happened here. The dominos are falling so fast.

Wow, you can put "Russian Attack Helicopter" as your gender on your birth certificate now? Interesting. I might just have to do it.

It's sad that people have forgotten that these courts don't make laws, only give their opinion of it.
