印地安那州禁止2月12日开始在身份证上改变性别标记,援引生物性别,引起法律和公民权利关切。 Indiana bans gender marker changes on IDs starting Feb. 12, citing biological sex, sparking legal and civil rights concerns.

从2月12日起, 印地安那州将不再允许驾驶执照或州身份证上的性别标记改变, Starting February 12, Indiana will no longer allow gender marker changes on driver’s licenses or state IDs, per a new policy from the Bureau of Motor Vehicles. 这一变化是在总督Mike Braun于2025年发布行政命令,按照2024年法院的裁决,将性别定义为出生时严格的生理性别之后发生的。 The change follows Governor Mike Braun’s 2025 executive order defining gender as strictly biological sex at birth, aligning with a 2024 court ruling. 以前被接受的文件,如法院命令或医生陈述等,将不再有效。 Previously accepted documents like court orders or physician statements will no longer be valid. 这一行动在2018-2019年的短暂时期结束,当时有一个“X”选项,它吸引了男女同性恋、双性恋、双性恋和变性者(LGBT)的倡导者的批评,他们称之为歧视和有害。 The move, which ends a brief 2018–2019 period when an “X” option was available, has drawn criticism from LGBTQ+ advocates who call it discriminatory and harmful. 已提出集体诉讼,官员警告说,时限可能会危及变性人和非二元居民。 A class-action lawsuit has been filed, and officials warn that the timeline may endanger transgender and non-binary residents.
