"The Wyoming Department of Transportation will now require an amended birth certificate to update a gender marker, rather than simply providing letters from a medical provider. A recent state law has made it impossible for trans people to get an amended birth certificate."
"In March 2025, the Wyoming legislature passed the 'What is a Woman Act,' a phrase popularized by anti-trans commentator Matt Walsh. The bill passed both the state House and Senate, but Governor Mark Gordon allowed it to become law without signing it."
Transgender individuals in Wyoming are now unable to update the gender marker on their driver's licenses due to a change in policy by the Wyoming Department of Transportation. Previously, they could update their licenses with letters from medical providers, but new laws now require an amended birth certificate, which is unattainable for many. This change follows the passage of the 'What is a Woman Act' in 2025, which has been criticized for its unclear legal objectives and implications for transgender rights.
