Today I went to the DMV to upgrade my driver's license to RealID. A year ago, I had promised myself that when my license came up for renewal in 2024, I was going to check the "non-binary" box that Virginia has on their application form. It seemed so far off in the future. I asked the clerk if I was allowed to make that change on the reissue that I was requesting today, and she said yes. She did kind of pause -- here's this reasonably masculine old guy saying he's non-binary -- but that was it. Fifteen minutes later, I was walking out with my temporary paperwork that said "SEX: X"
One side note: I'm "home alone" for a little while, and I considered going over to the DMV in full femme presentation. It was, after all, a reissue, so surely they wouldn't be taking a picture, right? I'm glad my good sense prevailed, because I'm not "out" yet. I can't say whether I would have sat for the photo or not. Gathering the documents and scheduling the visit were so much hassle that I might have done it.
