A federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit seeking to force the state of Tennessee to allow transgender plaintiffs to change their birth certificates to match their gender identity, the Associated Press reported.
U.S. District Judge Eli Richardson wrote that the word "sex," when it comes to birth certificates, means "external genitalia at birth." The judge also said that a birth certificate does not become inaccurate if the person's gender identity later in life is a mismatch.
