A Kansas judge ruled that the state's refusal to change transgender residents' driver's licenses to reflect their gender identities does not violate their rights under the state constitution, keeping in place an order preventing such changes. The ruling comes amid a legal battle between the conservative Attorney General and the Democratic Governor's administration, with the ACLU arguing on behalf of transgender residents. The decision is part of a broader wave of measures from GOP-controlled Legislatures across the U.S. to roll back transgender rights, and it precedes a debate on a proposed ban on gender-affirming care for transgender minors in the Kansas House.
