Following months of negotiation and pressure from the community, the N.C. Department of Public Safety today announced that it plans to transfer Kanautica Zayre-Brown to a women’s facility. Zayre-Brown, a woman who is transgender, has been incarcerated in men's facilities for more than a year.

The ACLU of North Carolina is demanding that the state Department of Public Safety immediately transfer Kanautica Zayre-Brown to a women’s facility and provide her with all medically necessary health care and accommodations to ensure her safety.

the North Carolina Department of Transportation released a Sex Designation Form that will now be used to streamline the process for changing the gender marker on driver’s licenses and state identification cards.
