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. The Second District Court of Appeals upheld the probate court's denial.In the absence of a ruling from the Ohio Supreme Court, the appeals court decision remains in effect.Chief Justice Sharon Kennedy, Justice Joseph Deters and Justice Patrick DeWine argued that the appeals court and the Ohio Supreme Court did not have the power to hear the case under the state's constitution.Justices Patrick Fischer, Michael Donnelly, Melody Stewart and Jennifer Brunner said the court had the power to hear the case, but they could not come to an agreement on how to resolve it."It is an unfortunate day for the litigants in this case and Ohioans that we cannot reach a consensus," Fischer wrote.A majority of states allow transgender people to change the sex designation on their birth certificate, but the process can vary by state.In Ohio, a procedure for transgender people to change their birth certificate was established by the Ohio Department of Health in 2021.
