John,

 

We have great news coming out of Connecticut. The Connecticut
Department of Motor Vehicles has removed the extra step of providing
medical documentation to update gender markers on IDs, making the
process more accessible for all trans people.

This is so important because trans people, like all people, need
consistent and accurate IDs to open bank accounts, start new jobs,
enroll in education programs, travel, and more.

In addition, Connecticut's new policy now offers residents a
non-binary gender designation on drivers' licenses and
non-driver identification cards, joining over a dozen other states.

Are you wondering how friendly the ID laws are in your state? Click

NCTE, working with partners, passed 10 state-level policies just last
year to make it easier to change gender markers or to add
gender-neutral options on driver's licenses or birth
certificates. This includes states like Alaska, Illinois, Maine,
Maryland, Massachusetts, Nevada, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Rhode
Island, and Washington.

This proactive move by the state of Connecticut is a step in the right
direction, and we are encouraged to see more states working to be
inclusive of trans people.

With Hope,
