Senate rejects bill to clarify the process for transgender Utahns to legally change their gender designation

(Francisco Kjolseth | Tribune file photo) Two transgender Utahns who have been denied a legal sex designation by a state judge are challenging the ruling, asking the Utah Supreme Court to overturn the decision. Sean Childers-Gray and Angie Rice, pictured, believe the state laws that apply to legal name changes also allows for a sex designation petition to be granted, something that's been done dozens of times statewide even though 2nd District Judge Noel Hyde said the law didn't give him the authority to grant the requests.
