Judge rules Montana law defining sex as only male or female is unconstitutional
[FoxNews] The judge 'apparently needs a dictionary to discern the difference between a noun and a verb,' a spokesman for Gov. Gianforte said

A judge ruled that a Montana law which defined "sex" in state law, when referring to a person as only male or female, was unconstitutional, saying that the law's description did not explicitly state its purpose.

District Court Judge Shane Vannatta struck down the 2023 law on Tuesday after a group of plaintiffs who identify as transgender, nonbinary, intersex and other identities sued, arguing the law denies legal recognition and protection to people who identify as gender-nonconforming, according to The Associated Press.

Vannatta did not address the claim of a lack of legal recognition and protection, but did say that the bill's title did not adequately explain whether the word "sex" referred to gender or sexual intercourse and that it did not indicate the words "male" and "female" would be defined in the body of the bill.

"The title does not give general notice of the character of the legislation in a way that guards against deceptive or misleading titles," Vannatta wrote.
