JUNEAU, Alaska (AP/The Blaze) — 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, 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.
According to the lawsuit, the woman, a pilot identified only as K.L., has lived her life as a woman for nearly two years. It states that she officially changed her name, receives hormone therapy, and is identified as female on her passport and other documents.
A message was left late Monday afternoon with the Department of Law’s civil division.

Seems to me that since a license is used for identification, it ought to reflect her “current” physiological gender. I mean, emotionally, I’m Marilyn Monroe, but if I put that on my license, folks might be a bit confused since in reality, I do much resemble her! hahaha Can you believe this is even an issue???
