A state-court judge ordered Kansas to stop allowing transgender people to change the listing for their sex on their driver's licenses.
This image from the Kansas Department of Revenue shows a sample driver's license issued by the state's Division of Vehicles, first produced in June 2021. A new Kansas law will prevent transgender people from changing the listing for their sex on the license to match their gender identities.
Kobach contends that a law, which took effect on July 1, prevents such changes and requires the state to reverse any previous changes in its records. It defines “male” and “female” so that Kansas law does not recognize the gender identities of transgender, non-binary or gender non-conforming people. Kelly's office said it was working on a response to Watson's order. Kelly won her first term as governor in 2018 by defeating Kobach, who was then the Kansas secretary of state. He in turn staged a political comeback last year by winning the attorney general’s race as she captured a second term — both of them by slim margins.
Jones also said potential problems for law enforcement should be weighed against the harm to the mental health and safety of transgender people who don't have licenses that match their gender identities. “For me, it’s all about having my stuff reflect who I am personally,” he said after speaking at a recent transgender rights rally at the Kansas Statehouse. “Knowing that my legal documents say that I am female is very uncomfortable.”
