A ruling in Montana established that transgender discrimination is inherently sex discrimination, as stated by Justice Laurie McKinnon.

This ruling is significant for transgender individuals in Montana, as it facilitates access to accurate IDs, countering Republican interpretations that view trans rights as detrimental to women.
