LEXIE CANNES STATE OF TRANS — An decision by Oklahoma County District Judge Bill Graves denying a second transgender person a name change was also overturned by a Oklahoma appeals court.

The appeals court anonymously granted Angela Renee Ingram her request. A year and a half ago the same appeals court overturned Judge Graves’ decision in a separate case to deny trans woman Christie Ann Harvey a name change.

Judge Graves gained notoriety for quoting the Bible in denying trans people name changes and for his “expertise” on DNA: “If you’re born male, you stay male, according to the study I’ve done on DNA. If you’re born female, you stay female.”



Graves says he is going to abide by the appeals court’s decision.
