Bolivia's ->-bleeped-<-s will be allowed to have their national ID pictures taken as women.

Public defender Patricia Flores says that after three-years of negotiations, her office, Bolivian police and ->-bleeped-<- and transgender groups have agreed to grant Bolivians the right to be photographed looking however they want.

Until now, police have forced ->-bleeped-<-s to be pictured in keeping with their biological gender. The ID cards will still list Bolivians' legal names.
