Kansas AG Sues to Block Transgender Residents from Changing Gender on IDs

The Republican attorney general of Kansas, Kris Kobach, filed a lawsuit to prevent transgender residents from changing their gender on driver's licenses.
Governor Laura Kelly's administration announced state agencies would continue allowing the changes, stating they believe it complies with the law.
Kobach argues a new law prevents such changes and requires reverting previous changes made over the last four years.
The lawsuit seeks to force the governor to enforce the law as Kobach interprets it but does not aim to stop birth certificate changes.
The new law is part of a wave of measures limiting transgender rights in the U.S., though most states still allow birth certificate changes.
