“My emotions were going crazy,” Jaydee Dolinar tells Yahoo Lifestyle of the upsetting experience, which occurred at the Fairpark Driver License Office in Salt Lake City, Utah.
A transgender woman says she was recently humiliated when going through what should have been a standard process — that of having her photo taken for a new driver’s license.
“In hindsight, I should not have done it, but I needed my license,” she says. “I just wanted to get it over with, and thought, if those are the rules, I’m going to follow them. I absolutely didn’t want to have to go back.” Dolinar, though, tells Yahoo Lifestyle that she has not received any messages from the agency, and knows of the apology only through “secondhand sources,” adding, “I have no idea what is happening.”
“We worked with them in 2015,” Robbins says, after two transgender women were forced to remove their makeup and wigs before having their license photos taken. “We addressed the departments and worked through everything that was wrong, so there was an understanding with managers. Education was given to all employees, policy was written and a video [above] was left behind for trainings.
“It’s rare that we hear about these cases,” Lewis tells Yahoo Lifestyle. “But what tends to happen is there is an individual clerk who is not properly trained — or the agency itself has not confronted the issue before and doesn’t know the law, so they make a mistake.” Laws regarding identity documents and gender identity vary by state, ranging from progressive, self-affirming laws — such as the one just announced on Monday in Michigan, which will now allow trans people who want to correct their sex designation on existing documents to simply fill out a form, have a new photo taken and pay a nominal fee — to more stringent systems, like Utah’s.
