Transgender drivers win concession

The state Department of Transportation's change in rules concerning gender identification on driver's licenses sent local gym owners and operators scurrying for their locker rooms this week.

No one would talk on the record about its implications for single-sex security in the shower or while changing.

"Don't use my name," and "I don't want to answer," they said.

The change, which PennDOT announced as a "settlement" Aug. 25, removes the prerequisite of sexual reassignment surgery for a gender change on a license.

Those wishing to make a change to reflect the sex they are living as, as opposed to their physical sexual characteristics, and who have the backing of a physician or social worker actively practicing in the area of transgender counseling, may  now do so.
