ID cards expected to benefit transgenders

San Francisco's new city ID card program not only will give people such as undocumented immigrants, children who don't have school IDs, and seniors who don't have driver's licenses, a way to identify themselves, it is also expected to benefit transgender people.

The card is gender neutral, which will benefit people who have been "stigmatized for so long, this will help open the door to the community to advance in their lives," said Alexandra Byerly, a representative of El-La Program Para Trans-Latinas. "... We can go out and have this ID now and prove that we are someone."
