Kansas Attorney General Orders Reversal of Gender Changes for Trans Kansans.

Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach announced that transgender Kansans who legally changed the gender on their drivers’ licenses or birth certificates will soon see them changed back by the state, in line with a new law defining male and female according to a person’s biological characteristics. The law, set to take effect on July 1, requires state agencies to maintain records in line with a person’s sex assigned at birth. Trans Kansans will still be able to vote and drive using their current IDs, but future IDs will show their gender at birth. The law has been criticized as one of the broadest restrictions on transgender rights in the country and could fuel harassment and violence against the LGBT community.
