Understanding the New Passport Gender Change Policy
 January 2012 | National Center for Transgender Equality
"The new [State Department] policy recognizes that people's medical needs vary, and that treatment options must be decided by health care professionals on an individual basis."
This resource from the National Center for Transgender Equality provides information about when you need a passport and addresses specific concerns for transgender people, including how to change your name and gender information on your passport, how to apply for a new passport, and more. The resource is in response to the State Department's June 2010 policy to issue new passports that reflect a person's current gender when either a previous passport or other personal documentation presented by an applicant reflects a different gender.

LGBT Older Adults: Rethinking Aging Laws for Today's Older Adults This brief describes how current federal and state laws are based around the assumption of marriage and thus exclude same-sex couples, widowed men and women—LGBT and heterosexual alike—and those who never married. This brief offers concrete policy recommendations that would increase the breadth of older adults protected under aging policies.
