Nevada's Department of Motor Vehicles is no longer requiring a doctor's approval to change the listed gender on someone's driver's license or identification card and is working on adding a new option for those who don't identify as male or female.
  Â
Gender Justice Nevada Clinical Director Jane Heenan says the previous policy added further costs and stress for trans and gender-nonconforming people.
  Â
The Las Vegas Sun reported Thursday that the change is similar to a move by the Nevada Department of Health and Human Services, which changed its rules in 2016 to allow people to update the gender on their birth certificate using a self-declaration process.
  Â
The DMV has not said when a third option for people who don't identify as male or female will be added.
