In a win for common sense, a federal appeals court sided with Tennessee on Friday, concluding that the state’s law saying that so-called “transgender” individuals cannot change their gender on their birth certificates is not unconstitutional.
The Daily Wire reported that in a 2-1 decision, the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals found that Tennessee law saying that birth certificates need to coincide with biological sex is not in violation of the 14th Amendment.
Tennessee had been sued by four men who believed they were women who wanted to change their gender on their birth certificates to female.
“But absent an existing fundamental right, the Constitution does not require the States to embrace the plaintiffs’ view of what information a birth certificate must record,” Judge Jeffrey Sutton wrote.
