Kansas Governor Allows Transgender Residents to Continue Updating Documents Despite New Law

Kansas Governor Laura Kelly has issued a directive allowing transgender residents to continue updating their driver's licenses and birth certificates, despite a new law aimed at preventing it. The law, set to take effect on Saturday, defines a person's sex based on their "biological reproductive system" at birth. However, Kelly's administration argues that the law is not retroactive and that agencies lack complete data to comply with the attorney general's opinion. The attorney general, Kris Kobach, has criticized the governor's decision and vowed to take legal action.
