A Grant County transgender woman is sharing her story of fighting to have her gender marker changed on her state issued ID.
GRANT COUNTY — For transgender folks, having the marker on their I.D. match their gender identity can not only be affirming, it can also be lifesaving.This comes during a tumultuous time for the trans community in the Hoosier state.“First name Tiffany. Last name Resilience.”“I thought about how I survived through conversion therapy for two years. Exorcisms for six months that my parents forced on me," Tiffany Veneno Resilience said. “When I show my I.D.
“It doesn’t have to be that way. Some states don’t require a doctor’s letter. Some states require self-attestation where you just check a box. That’s how you change the gender marker on a U.S. Passport, for example," Stuart said.In January, Resilience appeared before a judge in the Grant County Circuit Court.
“There’s this conflict in the Indiana court of appeals about whether or not courts can issue gender marker changes. The local court in your county is bound by what the higher court says but there’s no rule that says what happens when two higher courts disagree. The answer is you go to the Indiana Supreme Court.”
They both involved a trial court denying a parent’s request to update the gender marker on their transgender child’s birth certificate.
