Florida Prohibits Transgender Individuals from Updating Driver's License Gender

Florida has revoked the provision allowing transgender people to change the sex on their driver's licenses, citing that gender refers to biological and genetic characteristics. This policy change could lead to potential fraud charges for those who have already updated their documents. The state will only issue replacement licenses for lost or stolen ones, or for changes in name, address, or restrictions. The move is part of a broader effort by the state to roll back LGBTQ rights, including restricting discussions of LGBTQ topics in schools and introducing bills targeting LGBTQ people.
