DETROIT (AP) — People in Michigan make changes to their driver's licenses all the time.

They get a new picture, switch addresses or become an organ donor.

What's much less common is changing their gender designation from an "M'' to an "F'' or vice versa.

Republican Paul Scott is trying to make gender designation an issue in the race to replace term-limited Secretary of State Terri Lynn Land. The state representative from Grand Blanc says people who have undergone gender change operations shouldn't be able to change their licenses to reflect their new identities.
