. Because of that, trans and nonbinary people need to rely on birth certificates to update their IDs in Utah, but even getting those updated in the state can be exceedingly difficult, advocates say.When Van De Graaff started pursuing a new gender marker in November 2017, they claimed no one they knew had “heard of anybody in Utah having a gender ‘X’ license or documentation of any kind.” Van De Graaff said the common thinking was, “This can't be done, because it hasn't been done.
Sue Robbins, chairwoman of Transgender Education Advocates of Utah, said trans people often have to rely on their own informal networks to know which judges they can bring their case to and which they can’t. For instance, she claimed “a significant portion of the judges in Davis County,” which borders Salt Lake County to the north, “will not entertain” updating gender markers . Judges in Weber County, just north of Davis, have also “broadly decided they won’t entertain gender marker changes.
