The department and Equality Pennsylvania announced a settlement Wednesday that allows people to change the gender on their licenses if they are living full-time in their new gender and it can be verified by a licensed medical or psychological caregiver.
The previous policy only allowed changes in gender for drivers who could prove they had sexual reassignment surgery. PennDot said about half the states already have adopted a similar policy. The policy takes effect immediately.

This is indeed good news =)
I was SO excited when I read this (and thank you for blogging about it - I was going to). Yay, Pennsylvania, for doing something that is fair and makes sense. :)
