Kansas AG Orders Reversal of Transgender Identifier Changes on State Records, Documents
- Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach claims state law requires trans people's birth certificates and driver's licenses to reflect sex assigned at birth.
- Kobach says trans and nonbinary Kansans can't use single-sex spaces that don't match sex at birth, including schools, shelters and prisons.
- Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly disagrees with Kobach's interpretation but he may pursue legal action to enforce it.
- The law defines gender as biological traits at birth; trans people don't have to surrender IDs but they'll be legally incorrect.
- Advocates criticize the move as attacking trans rights; Kobach says the law clarifies enforcement of the new statute.
