    The article states they simply need to enter their sex when filling the forms. The headline is not supported by the article.

      Sex is not as useful of an identifier for a government ID as gender.

      If I go missing and they tell people to be on the lookout for a male, I will never be found.

        Which is irrelevant to the fact the title is not supported by the info in the article. Transgender people are free to get and renew a driver’s license in Florida. They need to enter their sex on the form, not their gender.

          As I understand it transgender people were able to change the sex on the form and now we can’t, so that headline is completely accurate. Yes, that’s not how sex works, but the reason we could do it before is because it made our government IDs useful for identification.

          Now when a cop sees the male identifier on my ID he’s just going to harass me for having a “fake” ID. 🙄
