"Florida Transgender Activists Protest State ID Gender Restrictions with Die-In"

Transgender activists in Florida staged die-in protests at driver's license offices across the state in response to a new rule criminalizing changes to gender on licenses to reflect a person's gender identity. The protests were organized by several advocacy groups and aimed to highlight the impact of efforts to erase legal recognition for the transgender community. The Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles' new rule prohibits changing gender on licenses, citing fraud, and potential criminal and civil penalties. The Florida Legislature is also considering a bill that would prohibit licenses from reflecting a gender that is not a person's biological gender.
