Diamond thank you for talking about this issue. As a resident of Utah it is an outrage that our government employees do not understand what respect and non discriminatory behavior is.

What the DMV did to the transgender woman was reprehensible! If it had been me, I’d have left without my license, and my next stop would have been to the ACLU, Lambda Legal (lgbt rights legal agency) or other legal agency in the area, and the DMV and I would have been in court!!
