Two US states pass controversial bathroom bills.
TL;DR Summary
Kansas and Arkansas have passed bills that restrict transgender people's rights to use bathrooms and change their gender on driver's licenses. The Kansas bill defines "sex" as "either male or female, at birth," while the Arkansas bill allows transgender people to be charged with a misdemeanor for using bathrooms or changing rooms associated with their identities if cisgendered minors are present. Both bills have been criticized by LGBTQ+ rights advocates and are part of a wave of legislation aimed at rolling back LGBTQ+ rights pursued by Republicans this year across the United States.
