Most every racial group has organized to strategically accomplish their agendas except...guess who?

Transgender people in Utah have the right to amend their birth certificates, the state’s Supreme Court ruled on Thursday.

The 4-1 decision — hailed by advocates as a “a landmark win for transgender rights in Utah” — comes after a 3-year legal battle, and several attempts by lawmakers to block transgender Utahns from changing their name and gender on birth certificates.

The ruling overturned a district court ruling that denied plaintiffs Sean Childers-Gray, a transgender man, and Angie Rice, a transgender woman, the right to change their gender markers on state records.

“A person has a common-law right to change facets of their personal legal status, including their sex designation,” Justice Deno Himonas wrote in the majority opinion.

“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,” she added.

According to the organization, “previously, some judges would grant these orders while others would not — leaving many transgender Utahns waiting on the courts or simply unable to update their documents.”
