Post by: Lady Skylar on June 16, 2018, 10:11:46 PM
Looks like it's going to be much easier now in Nevada to change your gender on drivers licenses.

Good to hear that amidst all the rollbacks and bad trans news going on politically, something good happens too sometimes.

Change usually starts at the state and local level. It's easier to foment change that way. Eventually there will be a tipping point, especially with full faith and credit issues. It's coming, just not at the speed we'd like.

Nice to see more changes. Our provincial government just made a similar change a week ago and I took full advantage of it. All we have to do now is go in and tell them we want an M, F or even an X now with no other documents required. Pay a $13:00 fee, get a new picture and the new licence arrives in 7-10 days. Once it here you go back fill in a form and they will change your gender on your health care card as well for no further fees based on the licence.
Places are getting so progressive finally

    That's funny, I didn't know this policy was so new when I got my gender marker changed.  ;)

    Anyways, I can personally confirm this news story, they don't need a doctor's letter or anything to change your gender marker. You still can't change your name unless you change it with the SSA first though (and for that you need the court order).

    Also, from what I've heard as long as you have the right gender marker on your license Nevada law allows you to use whatever public bathroom you prefer. No discrimination there either. All in all, this is not a bad state to be trans in; people here tend to have a "live and let live" mentality.  ;D
