Florida Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV) issued a correction to a transgender TikToker after the latter tried to change genders on a driver’s license.

Trans actor James Rose, known as “Jamesissmiling” on TikTok, posted a video on Dec. 20, which is now unavailable, claiming there’s a loophole in Florida’s law that can allow citizens to change their gender identity on IDs.

“I just got my gender changed on my driver’s license in the free f—ing state of Florida,” Rose exclaimed. “My god, Ron DeSantis would be screaming right now if he knew about this. This little license now says female on it.”

The actor continued, “This is not easy. You’re not even supposed to be able to do this in this state. Here’s the loophole, here’s the loophole. Listen up! If you’re replacing your driver’s license, not renewing it but replacing it because you ‘lost it,’ they have to take all of your information from what they consider a ‘primary document.’ A passport is considered a primary document, and you can self-identify on your passport which means, loophole, you can self-identify on your Florida f—ing driver’s license.”
