Ohio BMV Drops Gender Change Option | Cleveland News
Description
Ohio just quietly scrapped the only legal path for transgender residents to update their gender marker on driver’s licenses and IDs — a move advocates say was intentional, designed to make life harder for trans Ohioans and possibly suppress votes. The Bureau of Motor Vehicles now insists your ID must reflect the sex on your birth certificate or passport, rejecting any self-identification or medical documentation. This follows a wave of anti-trans laws in the state, including bans on gender-affirming care and sports participation based on identity — all while courts have ruled that changing birth certificates to match gender identity is legally off-limits.
