Trans teen wins the right to look like herself in driver's license photo

Oh good, it looks like the policy change will extend to all people, not just transgendered individuals:

Under the terms of the settlement, the South Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles agreed to change its policy to allow people seeking drivers’ licenses to be photographed as they regularly present themselves, even if their appearance does not match the officials’ expectations of how the applicant should look.

The article doesn’t mention whether trans people are allowed to list the gender they identify as rather than their biological sex. I’m guessing that varies by state.
