Social Security Administration Modernizes Gender Change Policy for Trans People.
The National Center for Transgender Equality (NCTE) applauds the Social Security Administration (SSA) for its decision to change a policy protecting the privacy of transgender people. The SSA has made it clearer and easier for transgender people to update the gender designation in Social Security records. The SSA joins other federal agencies like the U.S. State Department and the Veterans Health Administration in recognizing the realities of transgender lives and replacing outdated policies. "Most people may not see this as a big deal, but transgender people know that this seemingly small technical change will protect their privacy and give them more control over their own lives" said Mara Keisling, executive director of the National Center for Transgender Equality.
