A Montana district court judge, Shane Vannatta, has ruled that Montana's bill SB458, which aimed to define sex strictly as male or female, is unconstitutional. The ruling was based on a technicality that the term 'sex' was not clearly expressed in the title of the bill, despite being defined within the bill itself. The Democrat-appointed judge's decision has sparked significant debate, with some arguing that it undermines biological definitions, while others view it as a victory for inclusivity and legal precision.
