US jurisdictions with "gender X" driver licenses

The section § US jurisdictions with "gender X" driver licenses is currently just a long bullet list, and isn't really appropriate here. However, it could be spun off and expanded into List of US jurisdictions with "gender X" driver licenses, and then the section here could be redone as a brief paragraph in summary style.

For the time being, I rendered the bulleted list into prose until it could possibly be made into its own article. Iscargra (talk) 13:45, 3 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Should we move some info to the transphobia in the US article?

I'm mainly suggesting this in regards to the public factors section, I feel it'd better serve both pages to move it there, and have a "see also" link somewhere pointing readers in that direction.

I should note, I am not suggesting this for sections where statistics and the like are crucial or important to the understanding of policy, for example the housing section. Snokalok (talk) 00:28, 21 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Tuckerlieberman You tend to this page as much as I do, what are your thoughts? Snokalok (talk) 00:29, 21 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm, thanks for asking for my opinion. Yes, in general, if material leans more toward transphobia, it makes sense to move it to the other article ("Transphobia in the US"). But this "Transgender rights in the United States" article shouldn't accidentally give the impression that everything is rosy just because we keep all the transphobia on another article. We could write general sentences here, as needed, to summarize the overall bad climate and specific challenges to trans rights. The details of transphobia can be kept somewhere else.
