Kansas Ordered to Halt Changing Trans People's Gender on Driver's Licenses

A state-court judge in Kansas has ordered the state to stop allowing transgender people to change the sex listed on their driver's licenses, following a lawsuit filed by the state's Republican attorney general. The order will remain in effect for up to two weeks, making Kansas one of the few states that do not allow such changes. The attorney general argues that a new law, which took effect on July 1, prevents these changes and requires the state to reverse any previous changes. Transgender rights advocates argue that not allowing these changes harms the mental health and safety of transgender individuals.
