Furthermore, I cannot find a proper source for it, however from my personal experience I was able to update the gender marker a little while back on my drivers license by providing my passport which had a correct gender marker. I only attempted this as I had heard firsthand from another trans woman that she did this and I explained that story to the person at the DMV who was willing to try to push it through, at the risk of me potentially getting a call back from Frankfort saying no. However, no such call occurred and I received my updated license without issue."
