Judges now updating driver's licenses for transgender people

Marla Compton has been living full time as a woman for more than two years.
But Compton driver's license and other forms of ID still have an "M" next to "sex" and list the male first name she was given at birth.

Compton said she's reluctant to spend thousands of dollars to hire an attorney and seek what is known as a gender-marker change, which she called a "gamble" due to the possibility that a judge would refuse it.
