On Friday, the Republican attorney general of Kansas sued to force the state to be among the few that prohibit transgender people from changing their sex on their driver's licenses and to repudiate the Democratic governor, who continues to allow such changes despite a new anti-trans law. Attorney General Kris Kobach filed his lawsuit in state court, seeking an order to stop Gov. Laura Kelly, and agencies under her control, from letting transgender people change their licenses. Kobach contends a law that took effect Saturday prevents such changes and requires the state to reverse any previous changes in its records. Kobach has argued that the law applies in the same way to birth certificates, but the lawsuit filed doesn't address those documents. The settlement of a 2018 federal lawsuit requires Kansas to allow transgender people to change their birth certificates. Even with a raft of measures targeting transgender people in statehouses across the US this year, Kansas would be atypical for not allowing them to change sex or gender markers on birth certificates, driver's licenses, or either. More than 900 people in Kansas have changed the listing for sex on their birth certificates in the past four years. #Queer Up Courts
