In a move that could impact transgender people nationally, the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators (AAMVA) is recommending that transgender drivers be allowed to more easily change the gender markers on their driver's licenses.
AAMVA, the non-profit that makes recommendations on driving issues to every state, is hosting a webinar on transgender issues and driver's licenses Aug. 3. According to Thomas Manuel, AAMVA's program director of driver fitness, they will suggest that transgender drivers be given IDs with their preferred gender marker, so long as a licensed medical provider signs off on it.
