Good for MA.

Kaprielian said the new provisions no longer will require applicants to submit medical proof of sex reassignment surgery.

"Under the new policy, the letter said, "an individual who wishes to change the gender marker will submit an updated application together with a Gender Designation Change Form, signed by him or her and a medical provider attesting to the gender that the individual considers himself or herself to be."

The organization that obtained the letter, MassResistance.com, said the decision has "huge implications" for society.

"Essentially, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts has decided that for legal purposes of identification, a person's actual sex is meaningless. The gender 'you consider yourself to be' is now officially used. This is madness. But it's now the state policy," the organization said.

"A man using a women's restroom or women's locker room would now show police a legal, official Massachusetts identification that he 'is a woman.' He could get this on the basis of 'the gender he considers himself to be' with the agreement of a 'medical provider,'" the organization said on its website.

Driver's licenses let applicants pick gender

This organization, while I understand their fears, it's very unfounded to think any guy could get a DL saying he's "female" or vice versa. It requires more effort then that to get a medical professional to agree to put their name on the document.

So good for MA for making this change.

He's already explained that they will have to get a medical professional to sign off. No, they won't be able to get this done any time they want.

If they could I'd be 100% against it.
