Susan's Place Transgender Resources

Indiana has been keeping a list of trans residents. It could revoke their IDs like Kansas did.

An investigation by independent trans journalist Aleksandra Vaca reveals that Indiana is poised to revoke the identity documents of trans residents in the state, just like Kansas before them.

In a worst-case scenario, trans Hoosiers with documents that don't reflect their sex at birth could be charged with a felony for "committing fraud," earning two and a half years in prison and a $10,000 fine.

Key to the Kansas revocation scheme was keeping tabs on transgender people who've sought changes to their identity documents.

A database with that information identifies exactly who possesses the documents that the state wants to revoke, clearing the way to do it without a costly and time-consuming manual review of every birth certificate and driver's license in state and county records.

Vaca spoke with employees in five states that are hostile to trans identity and handle gender changes administratively about tracking trans people's document changes, including Indiana, Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, and West Virginia.

Employees in four of the states said amendments to gender markers are not flagged in their systems. West Virginia, for one, only keeps handwritten notes of changes, while Montana seals old birth certificates.

Indiana, however, has long been compiling lists of trans people in the state based on identity document change requests. One method is straightforward: requests for gender marker changes to both driver's licenses and birth certificates are flagged in the state's records system.

One problem with this is that no one walks into a government office and has their identity documents changed without supporting documentation, e.g., a letter from a doctor, a court order, etc.

Perhaps the state of Indiana (and others) should be prosecuting the judges who issued those orders. It is not fraud if you are following a court order. It is not fraud if you are updating your identity document based on a medical finding.

The people getting hurt in all of this are not the doctors, lawyers, judges, government officials, or politicians. It is the people who are trying to follow the law and ensure that the correct information is displayed on their identity documents to help positively identify them. That is the purpose of an identity document.

Using my deadname or sex assigned at birth does not identify who I am.

Ludicrous
