California's Department of Motor Vehicles is investigating a report that an employee sent a transgender San Francisco woman a letter calling her "an abomination," a DMV spokesman said today (Thursday, October 28).
"The department takes allegations like this very seriously, and we are investigating it to the fullest extent," said Mike Marando. The department's internal affairs division, which investigates personal misconduct or illegal use of DMV equipment by employees, is handling the case, he said.
"Hopefully we'll know something within the next week or so," said Marando.
Asked whether the person is still working for the DMV, he would only say, "Right now we have an open investigation on the employee."

I received an email today.
And I check the from address. It is from dmvpublicaffairs@dmv.ca.gov, So maybe they are really going to do something.
QuoteHello,
Thank you for your email and letting us know your feelings about the Amber Yust situation.
The Department of Motor Vehicles is taking this issue very seriously, and is investigating it to the fullest extent. The DMV does not condone, or tolerate anyone advocating their personal beliefs on customers, and also does not tolerate the access or use of personal information for non work-related purposes.
We take our charge of protecting customer information to the highest degree, and have policies and procedures in place, which we aggressively follow. Be assured that the department is taking every step necessary to ensure this does not happen again.
Thank you for your inquiry,
California Department
Of Motor Vehicles

Strange that she hasn't reported it to the police yet, according to the report.
