"Despite full parental support, Mississippi’s highest court has ruled that a transgender teen cannot legally change his name. Citing a so-called “lack of maturity,” the court invoked anti-trans legislation to deny his request, raising alarm from legal and medical experts alike. Advocates say the decision is part of a disturbing trend of state interference in affirming family decisions."

How long until they deny name changes for all trans folks? Why is this ok?

How long until a large enough community stops recognising the state as authority?
