A federal judge just blocked a new law in Idaho criminalizing transgender-pretenders who use a bathroom which is opposite their biological sex.
Here’s more from CBS2:
A federal judge on Tuesday granted a request for a preliminary injunction blocking enforcement of H.B. 752, a new Idaho law that would have threatened transgender people with up to five years in prison for using public restrooms consistent with their gender identity instead of their biological sex at birth.
H.B. 752 had been set to take effect July 1. The court’s order limits enforcement of the law, protecting access to some restrooms while the legal challenge continues.
Signed into law earlier this year by Idaho Gov. Brad Little, H.B. 752 prohibits people in Idaho from using sex-designated public restrooms not matching their sex at birth in public. The law applies to government-owned buildings and private businesses open to the public, including libraries, rest stops, malls, gas stations, restaurants, entertainment venues, hospitals and other businesses. It would make a first offense a misdemeanor punishable by up to a year in prison and a second offense a felony punishable by up to five years in prison.
In April 2026, six transgender Idaho residents filed a lawsuit in federal court challenging H.B. 752, arguing it violates constitutional rights to due process, equal protection and privacy. The case was brought by the American Civil Liberties Union, the ACLU of Idaho, Lambda Legal, Munger, Tolles & Olson and the Alturas Law Group in the U.S. District Court for the District of Idaho. This ruling grants their May request for a preliminary injunction.
I expect they’ll appeal this, and I just hope it gets overturned.
