Alaska sued in transgender driver's license case - Sacramento News - Local and Breaking Sacramento News | Sacramento Bee

Alaska sued in transgender driver's license case - Sacramento News - Local and Breaking Sacramento News | Sacramento Bee: "The American Civil Liberties Union is suing the state of Alaska on behalf of a transgender woman, alleging that it denied her a driver's license listing her gender as female unless she provided proof that she'd undergone a sex change operation.

The lawsuit, which ACLU said was filed in state court in Anchorage Monday, states that denying the woman a license that accurately reflects her gender identity because she hasn't undergone surgery is unconstitutional."
