Transgender Michiganians sue on driver's license

http://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/local/michigan/2015/11/30/transgender-sue-drivers-license-policy-michigan/76548384/

"It might be just an M or an F to most people, but for transgender individuals, an incorrect sex identification on a state driver's license is equivalent to outing themselves every day to perfect strangers.

Whether it's making a credit card purchase for groceries, entering a federal courthouse or complying with police on a speeding ticket, showing a state driver's license is a routine experience."

Good for them. If this lawsuit turns out well, could be a big boost for all of us.

Thanks for posting this, Stephanie.

I agree suzi. I can't understand why all states don't just change the law to accommodate us instead of putting us at risk.

Thanks as well and hopefully an update on this will be posted here for us to keep up on?
