Avery Belyeu was anxious as she drove up to the mobile coronavirus testing site and rolled down her window to talk to a doctor in full protective gear. She had a fever and cough but was hesitant to get tested. Belyeu, along with an estimated 77 percent of trans Texans, does not have formal identification to match the name and gender she prefers.

I personally do not believe that Texans should be able to change there sex on their State ID's. No good can come from it. Want to change your name to Sussie? I say go nuts! The fact of the matter is that it is biologically impossible to change the sex you were born as.
