Florida just made another deplorable move in its long history of attacking trans folks. A new rule change, spurred on by hateful Republicans, bans proper gender identification on driver’s licenses. This means that trans people are now banned from holding driver’s licenses that reflect their true gender in Florida.

This decision is incredibly harmful to trans folks for several reasons. Firstly, it erases their identities and denies them recognition of who they are. This is not just an inconvenience; it’s a blatant attack on trans people’s rights and dignity. Secondly, by labeling licenses with proper gender markers as “fraud,” the state is essentially criminalizing trans existence.
Trans people already face disproportionate levels of discrimination and violence, and this decision only further marginalizes and endangers them.
Please sign this petition to urge Florida’s Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles to reverse this discriminatory decision!
