Transgender ID Policy Changes in Pennsylvania Effective Immediately

The transgender community is celebrating a small victory today after the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation made the announcement that they have agreed to allow transgender individuals to identify themselves more accurately on forms supplied by the state agency.

In large part due to its partnership with Equality Pennsylvania, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation is finally acknowledging that transgender individuals live in the state, drive vehicles like everyone else and should be treated with the same dignity and respect afforded to other citizens of the second state in the union (Pennsylvania joined the union in 1682 following only Delaware's entrance). This is the first time in the Keystone State's 382-year history that the transgender community has been afforded this right.
