I Just Don’t Understand Why…

… They hate our guts? The Republicans are doing everything in their power to eradicate us, they are protesting their "freedom" to go out and infect everyone with COVID-19 with armed protesters but they have no problems taking away other peoples freedom.

Idaho To Federal Judge: Let New Transgender Birth Certificate Ban Go Into Effect

The state of Idaho argues a new law banning transgender people from changing the sex on their birth certificates does not violate a federal court order that barred a similar state policy in 2018

The state was back before Idaho Federal District Court Judge Candy Dale Tuesday who, two years ago, found Idaho’s policy of outright banning transgender people from changing their birth certificates unconstitutional.

This time, it’s defending a new law passed by the legislature two months ago that allows few opportunities to amend a birth certificate. None of those apply to trans people wanting the document to match their gender identity.

Deputy Attorney General Steven Olsen, whose own office wrote in February that the state would likely lose any court challenge related to this law and cost taxpayers upwards of $1 million to defend, said Tuesday that the legislation needed to go into effect before any harm could be proven.

But here we are again back in court fighting our right to be ourselves and here we are with the Republicans trying force us back in the closet.

Idaho's New Transgender Birth Certificate Law Is Back In Federal Court

LGBTQ advocates are going to court once again this week to push back against a new Idaho law rolling back transgender rights.

Lambda Legal has filed a motion in federal court asking a judge to block the implementation of a law that bars transgender people from changing the gender on their birth certificate.
[…]
But Kara Inglehart, with Lamda Legal, said it does treat trans people differently than others.

“Cisgender people born in Idaho can possess accurate birth certificates that in real time reflect their identity and can be used as a fundamental form of an identity document,” Inglehart said. “Transgender people can’t.”

We have been though this before, and the Republican philosophy is if you can’t strip them of their rights, try, try again.

A federal court ruled two years ago that a state policy was unconstitutional in Idaho because it categorically banned trans people from changing their birth certificates. The judge permanently barred the state from doing so.
[…]
This is the second court action this week on a law that limits transgender rights. The ACLU and others sued the state over a law that bans trans girls and women from playing on sports teams — another case the Idaho attorney general's office concluded was "constitutionally problematic."

You know at one time some of the first states to allow us to change our birth certificates were Republicans states, they knew back then that in order to lead productive lives that we needed to change our birth certificates. What changed was the Republicans tied their lot in with the “Holier than thou” Evangelical Christians.
