Can you get your license changed once SS is changed?

driver's license depends on the state. Some states are easy and require a letter from a doctor or therapist. Some require the letter from the surgeon. The SSA change is pretty much nation wide that is the cool thing :)

Christine McGinn (love that woman!) did my surgery last November, and I've put off my social security gender marker change.....lots of other things going on in my life.  I was just about to start the court order, for vital records, for ss, yadayadayada, when I saw this on facebook.  Whoa!  What!  No ->-bleeped-<-!  I'm going next week with my letter!  Hoo ray for everyone's hard work!
God bless us, one and all
