JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — The Mississippi Supreme Court on Thursday upheld a ruling denying a transgender teen's name-change petition. The ruling comes nearly two years after a then 16-year-old undergoing a gender transition filed a petition to change his name to better fit his gender identity. Both of the teen's parents consented to the name change. But Hinds County Chancery Judge Tametrice Hodges in November 2023 denied the petition, citing the teen's lack of maturity.
