\"Ms.
Ms. Jey’nce Poindexter<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Before Jey\u2019nce knew about <\/span>VoteRiders<\/span><\/a>, changing her legal name felt like wishful thinking. But when she found out that her friend and ally \u2014 <\/span>Tracy Pease<\/span><\/a> \u2014 would be starting a new position at VoteRiders as Detroit Organizer, her hope reawakened.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Everyone who knows Jey\u2019nce Poindexter knows that she is a leader. The 38-year-old transgendered woman founded the <\/span>Trans Sistas of Color Project<\/span><\/a> \u2014 a nonprofit organization that aims to empower the lives of transgendered individuals living in Detroit. She also works as a case manager at the<\/span> Ruth Ellis Center<\/span><\/a> where she provides trauma-informed care to at-risk LGBTQ+ youth.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cEverybody \u2014 somewhere, somehow \u2014 has worked with Miss Jey’nce,\u201d said Tracy.\u00a0<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Tracy and Ms. Jey\u2019nce first met at an event in 2019 organized by <\/span>Focus: HOPE<\/span><\/a>, during which Ms. Jey\u2019nce spoke passionately about the many struggles faced by Detroit\u2019s transgender community.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In the summer of 2022, when Ms. Jeyn\u2019ce learned that VoteRiders helps voters change their legal name so they can get an ID to vote, she was relieved and thankful to have Tracy on her side.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cTo change her name she would have had to go through an attorney which costs two to three thousand dollars \u2014 money she doesn\u2019t have,\u201d explained Tracy.\u00a0<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Luckily, with Tracy\u2019s support, Jey\u2019nce successfully filed a name change petition and got her fingerprints taken. She is now awaiting her legal name change approval from Detroit\u2019s Oakland County court.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Tracy\u2019s work with Detroit’s LGBTQ+ community didn\u2019t stop there. After assisting Ms. Jeyn\u2019ce, she was connected to another 38-year-old transgender woman who needed help changing her name. Her name is Inga and she was Ms. Jey\u2019nce\u2019s client at the Ruth Ellis Center.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

While the process to file for Ms. Jey’nce\u2019s legal name change ran smoothly, Inga was not as lucky.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Inga\"
Inga<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Unlike Ms. Jeyn\u2019ce, who lives in Oakland County, Inga resides in Wayne County, which requires fingerprints to be taken at a Wayne County police agency. After learning this, Tracy called the county sheriff\u2019s department to find out where to take Inga \u2014 but her call was never answered, it only rang endlessly. Annoyed, Tracy hung up and drove to the sheriff\u2019s department office instead. \u201cOh, we don\u2019t do fingerprinting here,\u201d they told her. \u201cThis is just the administration building. You want to go to the Wayne County Jail, half a mile away.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So off Tracy went to the Wayne County Jail. When she arrived, she was met with surprise. \u201cFingerprinting? We don\u2019t do that here,\u201d they told her. \u201cYou might want to try The Dickerson Wayne County jail.\u201d Flabbergasted, Tracy called a trusted colleague who told her, yet again, to call a different police location within Wayne County. \u201cCall the Detroit Police Department\u2019s 12th precinct,\u201d they told her. So Tracy did, and she was finally able to schedule an appointment for Inga at 9 a.m. on Wednesday, September 21, 2022.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But it wasn\u2019t over yet.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

On Wednesday, Tracy and Inga walk into the 12th precinct. It was not yet 9 a.m. \u201cMy client is here to have her fingerprints taken,\u201d Tracy told the receptionist. \u201cFingerprints?\u201d they said. \u201cWe don\u2019t do that here.\u201d After a heated conversation with one of the sheriffs, they learned that Tracy had been unknowingly transferred to Detroit\u2019s 3rd precinct when she initially called to schedule Inga\u2019s appointment \u2014 so they got in Tracy\u2019s car and drove to the 3rd precinct. When they arrived, it was no different. \u201cWe don\u2019t do fingerprints here,\u201d the sheriff at that precinct told them. \u201cThe person you made the appointment with is at the 4th precinct.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

By the time Tracy and Igna arrive at the 4th precinct, it was almost 10 a.m., and they were told that because they missed their 9 a.m. appointment, Inga could no longer get her fingerprints taken that day. Tracy, however, rarely takes no for an answer. After describing the wild goose chase that they had been sent on that morning, Tracy said to the police captain, \u201cInga is getting her fingerprints taken, and she\u2019s getting them taken today. Otherwise, I\u2019ll be calling the channel 4 news.\u201d To avoid further upset, the captain conceded, and Inga\u2019s fingerprints were <\/span>finally <\/span><\/i>recorded.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The legal and bureaucratic maze Inga and Tracy navigated is common.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Every U.S. state has different requirements<\/span><\/a> for legal name changes and\/or updating\u00a0<\/span>gender markers on birth certificates, state ID cards, and driver\u2019s licenses. For transgender and nonbinary people in more than <\/span>20 states<\/span><\/a>, restrictive requirements can make this process challenging or even impossible.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

LGBTQ+ voters in <\/span>every<\/span><\/i> state also deal with intimidating and discouraging <\/span>bias<\/span><\/a>,<\/span> confusion<\/span><\/a>, and<\/span> inconsistent application<\/span><\/a> of the law when it comes to securing essential identification and voting.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cSome people automatically think transgender people are deviant,\u201d explained Tracy. \u201cThey will do anything to make them feel lesser than \u2014 it\u2019s transphobic.\u201d<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In 2021, VoteRiders teamed up with HeadCount to launch<\/span> #TransPeopleVote<\/span><\/a>,<\/span> a complement to HeadCount\u2019s ongoing <\/span>Vote With Pride<\/span><\/a> campaign. These resources support the unique ID-related needs of trans and nonbinary voters. In 2022, we celebrated Pride Month with updated and expanded<\/span> #TransPeopleVote<\/span><\/a> resources for all 50 states and DC.<\/span><\/p>\n

On <\/span>VoteRiders\u2019 Pride Page<\/span><\/a>, voters can learn about their state\u2019s voter ID requirements and their options for updating vital documents and state-issued IDs.
