![Transgender discrimination is, by its very nature, sex discrimination. Discrimination based on sex is expressly prohibited under Montana’s unique Nondiscrimination Clause––“[n]either the state nor any person, firm, corporation, or institution shall discriminate on account of . . . sex . . . .” Thus, Article II, Section 4 is

¶28 Being transgender is also a suspect class under the Equal Protection Clause of
Article II, Section 4,––“[n]o person shall be denied equal protection of the law.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:inwzoq34u52clnzwfmmv4j3b/bafkreidt45gkkqkhg24folszm4hyzpnuoyoe3f6f3pmqpoiqtvf6lweexi)
