If You're MTF In AK And Want A Driver's License, Bring Proof Of A Boob Job

From the people who brought you the Exxon-Valdez oil spill and Sarah Palin comes a law requiring any MTF transperson to bring proof of surgery in order to get their gender changed on their driver's license. It doesn't matter if your U.S. passport and work documents all identify you as a female, without the receipt from your boob job and penectomy you ain't getting a license.

But luckily for K.L.—a transperson who has lived as a woman for two years—the ACLU has just filed a brief against the Alaskan Department of Motor Vehicles asking the state to remove the surgery requirement.

Meh....
I find having my home being recognized mainly for an oil spill and Sarah Palin as annoying as any other stereotype I've had to live with... :P
