“What is a ‘person?’ When one cuts to the heart of this case, that is the question,” Karsnitz wrote to open his 20-page ruling.

If corporations are people and corporations are allowed to change their identity and name to whatever they choose than trans people, who are people and thus corporations, cannot legally be barred from changing their sex, gender identity, expression or name as it may impede the future profit seeking aims of their corporation.

Further just because a corporation isn't necessarily 18 years old yet does not mean it is categorically waived these fundamental rights to seek profit.
