Arkansas has been allowing trans people to correct the gender marker on their licenses easily for over a decade, but that changed recently. Residents have been allowed to self-select the gender markers on their licenses since at least 2010, but the new policy changes that.
Transgender, nonbinary, and intersex residents are suing over a new policy that makes it nearly impossible to change their gender marker and bans the use of a gender-neutral one.
A jury has recommended a sentence of life without the possibility of parole for Samuel Lee Baker, who was found guilty on Thursday of Murder and Burglary.
An ACLU-backed lawsuit to force Arkansas to restore its gender-neutral X option on state-issued IDs was filed in Pulaski County Circuit Court on Tuesday.
