The Montana ACLU is suing the state, asking a Missoula County District Court judge, to rule that rewriting the state's laws to include only male and female is not unscientific, but illegal.
At least two nonbinary plaintiffs allege the state is asking them to commit fraud to comply with a law defining sex as binary — strictly male and female — in a new lawsuit filed by the Montana ACLU.

The ACLU of Montana has filed a lawsuit challenging a law that defines the word “sex” throughout state code as either male or female, based on a person's biology at birth. The plaintiffs argue the law denies legal recognition and protections to people who are gender non-conforming. The plaintiffs — a transgender man, a two spirit Native American, a nonbinary person, an intersex individual and a nurse practitioner — also moved for a summary judgement in Monday's filing in state court in Missoula, asking for the law to be declared unconstitutional.
