Except now her license would have an M on it, even thought she looks completely like a woman. Driving isn't the issue here. Anywhere that checks ID like bars, liquor stores, anywhere would now see her license, see an M, look at her, and think it's either fake, or outing her publicly as trans.

This is now a frightening reality for any trans person in Kentucky.

Oh, yeah that's a problem. I didn't even consider using driver licenses as an ID, I'm used to having a national ID and forgot people use their driver's license as an ID in the US.

I don't even have a driver's license because I never needed a car, public transport was great in all the cities in Europe where I lived.I'm probably very divorced from the US realities.
