Ohio Supreme Court Gives Up on Transgender Case After Justices Too Divided

Supreme Court failed to reach a consensus on whether a transgender woman can change the sex marked on her birth certificate.The case was brought to the court by Hailey Emmeline Adelaide, who was appealing the Clark County Probate Court's judgment denying her application to change the sex marked on her birth certificate.
