LGBTQ+ advocacy groups are speaking out against a change in policy by Ohio's Bureau of Motor Vehicles. The BMV has stopped accepting a form used by trans people to update their gender marker on IDs. This change occurred without public announcement or a transition period.

Now, gender marker changes are only allowed with an updated birth certificate or passport. Further details on this policy change and its impact are available from organizations such as Equality Ohio and TransOhio, who have expressed outrage over the sudden shift.
