Deputy Director issued a memo saying allowing someone to change their gender "undermines the purpose of an identification record and can frustrate the state's ability to enforce its laws." The rule also makes holding a Florida drivers license with a gender marker differing to that of the sex assigned at birtth a potential cause for criminal prosecution and loss of their license. |
