(LifeSiteNews) – The state of Montana will no longer prevent people from changing the sex recorded on their birth certificates.
This past Monday, September 19, the Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services broke the news that they would be succumbing, at least temporarily, to Judge Michael Moses’ April 2022 injunction that they must allow transgender individuals to make the change to their birth certificates, even without undergoing the so-called “gender transition” that Montana had previously required.
Nevertheless, Jon Ebelt, a spokesperson for the Department of Public Health, said that “the department stands by its actions and analysis concerning the April 2022 preliminary injunction decision, as set forth in its rulemaking that addressed critical regulatory gaps left by the court.”
This announcement of compliance comes after months of defiance on the part of the Health Department, which held that physical sex is immutable.
