MADISON, WI- (Wisconsin Radio Network) – The Wisconsin Supreme Court has agreed to hear the case of a Shawano transgender woman identified only as Ella. She has been prohibited from changing her name because she is listed as a male on the Wisconsin sex offender registry. She was placed there for a sexual assault committed when she was a teen. Ella argues requiring her to register as a sex offender violates her First Amendment rights and forces her to identify as a male anytime she has to give her legal name.
