RESOURCES LIST - PLEASE SCROLL DOWN

Please Note - I use the extremely broad and inclusive definition of Transgender. Many of the resources here are relevant to the broader LGBTQI community as well.

I hope the resources here are useful for you, many are gathered from community member comments. These are not it endorsements, and we are not lawyers, doctors, or psychologists. Please consider your LGBTQI needs and carefully check all resources for yourself.

2 - Terms & Definitions on Gender & Sexuality.

Words and Names have Power! Do NOT let Anyone tell you who you are, your Identity, or your Orientation.  Do NOT let Anyone tell you what you should be, or that you are not enough of something, or that you are not “really” whatever you decide. YOU are the only one who Decides!  The terms and definitions you’ll find here are just a start, an approximation. No one fits perfectly into any name, or category. Find and use what works for you, and if you don't find yourself in here then keep looking or create your own.

As ot 10/14/25 International travel (in/out of U.S.) requires the use of M/F binary gender. X passports are still valid (on pending appeal to the Supreme Court) but all tickets, records, etc must use M/F markers. See details below.

**IMPORTANT**

It appears that the US State Department is no longer processing gender marker correction applications and have been instructed to confiscate the supporting documentation submitted as a part of the application.

Unfortunately, it appears that the ability to get a US passport that accurately matches your gender is not currently possible. We will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates, but at this time we do not recommend applying for a corrected passport.

We will be updating our website ASAP with this development.

Passport

- GENDER CHANGE

DO NOT USE!

Gender designation on U.S. Passports is now by self report, no medical provider's statement of transition is needed! You can select male (M), female (F), or non-binary, unspecified or another gender identity (X) as your gender marker. NOTE:If you have an X gender marker, you may not be able to travel to some other countries. Also, please consider your safety when planning to travel to other countries. (11/11/24)

https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/passports/need-passport/selecting-your-gender-marker.html

Thanks to my friend Dana Zzyym and Lambda Legal who fought for 6 years to win our right to a “X” marker. And thanks to the Biden administration.

Passport - use for International travel

(10/12/25)

What’s really happening with “X” passports on October 14 (2025)

🌎✈️

You may have seen posts saying that starting Oct 14, nonbinary and intersex people will be banned from flying.

That’s not true.

Here’s what is happening:

Beginning October 14, 2025, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) will require airlines to submit passenger data that only includes “M” or “F” in the gender field. Their system will no longer accept “X.”

This affects international flights (entering or leaving the U.S.), not domestic ones.

If your valid passport has an “X” marker, you can still travel - your passport remains valid under court orders currently blocking full enforcement of the federal policy. (Pending appeal to the Supreme Court)

However, some airlines may have to select “M” or “F” in their system to get CBP approval. That could cause extra questions, confusion, or minor delays at check-in.

🧭 What you can do:

 • Arrive early for international flights.

 • Make sure your name, birth date, and passport number match exactly.

 • If you can, call your airline in advance and ask how they’re handling “X” markers in their booking system.

 • Know that you have a right to travel - this is a data issue, not a ban.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/12_rmiKp-awHmLRBuLQiuxulojQAVT93D/view?usp=sharing (11/11/24)

Name Change:

-Under 18yrs. needs a licensed (any state or country) Medical or Behavioral provider to attest to your gender identity your sex designation should be changed to M/F/X.

-18yrs and up you just check a box, M/F/X.

WARNING you can change your sex only once on a Colorado Birth Certificate by this form!  Any subsequent sex designation changes require a court order, see update or forms in section 5.4 above here, Colorado Court Ordered Gender Change. I do recommend consulting an attorney at namechangeproject.org or virtually attending their name change clinic.

5.9- COLORADO  DRIVER LICENSE / ID /PERMIT - GENDER & NAME CHANGE

All Offices Require an Appointment.

https://dmv.colorado.gov/AppointmentScheduling. (11/11/24)

NAME CHANGE:

-Your new name at Driver's Licensing will be letter for letter what's on your Court Order of Name Change AND it must match Social Security's Records, so be sure to tell SSA in person (301 S. Howes St, Fort Collins) at least one day before coming to the driver's license office and don't let social security use any nicknames or change the order . It helps to bring either your new un-laminated Social Security Card OR their printout/letter with your new name stating they will be mailing you a new card soon.

-You must bring your original, certified Court Order too. (It must have an Original stamp/seal - no copies) In Colorado this is the one you went back to the court clerk and paid $20 a copy for, not the initial one you got in the mail.(please get at least 2, for safety and to mail one away to update some records).

GENDER CHANGE:   M / F / X 

No Gender Change paperwork at all is needed in an adult or a minor's Initial Application (first time ever) for a first Colorado License / ID / or Permit, regardless of what is on the birth certificate or passport. This started in 2023 and they may not be used to it. Just tell them. If they disagree ask for a manager or have them check their manual, or both. If you need to change an existing Colorado record  then follow the next paragraph.

(1/1/20) You can use a court order of gender change, or a new Colorado Birth Certificate to correct your sex designation. OR you can use Form DR2083 (next)

PDF Form & Instructions DR2083 Change of Sex Designation From and Instructions: (updated 3/14/23)

Link for DR2083 Change of Sex Designation From and Instructions

https://www.colorado.gov/pacific/dmv/forms-and-publications-1 

WARNING you can change your sex designation only once at Drivers Licensing using Form DR 2083, not counting your initial application. Any subsequent sex designation changes require a court order, see ‘Update’ or use Forms JDF 76&77, both in Section 5.4 above here in the Colorado Court Ordered Gender Change section. I do recommend consulting an attorney at namechangeproject.org or attending one of their name change clinics (currently virtual).

MINORS < 18   Can use a court order of gender change, or their new Colorado Birth Certificate to correct their sex designation on ID / License. They can also use the form DR2083 which must be completed by a licensed medical or behavioral health care provider, and with a parent present with proof of parentage.

- Colorado Discrimination Complaint Process        https://www.colorado.gov/dora/civil-rights

- Colorado Non-Discrimination Laws (Colorado Revised Statutes C.R.S.)

https://law.justia.com/codes/colorado/2018/title-24/principal-departments/article-34/

(Title 24, Principle Depts, Article 34, Parts 3/4/5/6)

Transgender status actual or perceived covered as sexual orientation in statute (C.R.S.)24-34-301

Employment anti-discrimination laws: (C.R.S.) § 24-34-401 et. seq.

Housing anti-discrimination laws: (C.R.S.) § 24-34-501 et. seq.

Public Accommodations anti-discrimination laws: (C.R.S.) § 24-34-601 et. seq.

- Colorado Civil Rights Commission Rules and Regulations (Sexual Orientation Harassment- incl. transgender).(10/31/19)

(esp. P.3 DD sexual orientation includes transgender status actual or perceived, and P.28-31 rule 81.6 incl. misuse of name/pronoun/form of address, rule 81.8 Dress Codes and 85.1 Workplace Harassment).

Warning: a little legal knowledge is a dangerous thing. I do not recommend threatening an employer with these without consulting a lawyer first. They can be hard to prove, slow, expensive, and you could lose your job in the meantime.
