Kansas GOP opposes validation of transgender identity
The Kansas Republican Party approved a resolution opposing all efforts to validate transgender identity and disallowing medical treatments to alter bodies to fit gender identity. Sponsor Eric Teetsel framed it as defending Christian principles while affirming the dignity of LGBT people, drawing praise from some and condemnation from Equality Kansas as dehumanizing and a cheap election year attack.
