Arkansas Rescinds X Gender Designation Policy on Driver’s License

‘This policy is just common sense. Only women give birth, men shouldn’t play women’s sports, and there are only two genders.’

Arkansas rolled back a policy that allows drivers in the state to change their listed sex at birth to an “X” designation on their driver’s licenses.

The Arkansas Department of Finance and Administration announced the decisions on March 12, aimed “to better safeguard the integrity of licenses and IDs in the state.”
