The teen, Chase Culpepper, was born male but recently began identifying as transgender. After the DMV did not allow Culpepper to wear makeup for her driver's license picture in March 2014, she filed a lawsuit alleging the state agency’s policy of disallowing people from altering their appearance for identification cards constituted sex discrimination and violated her free speech. As a result of her settlement with the DMV, Culpepper will be permitted to wear makeup in her driver's license picture.
