Judge rules no change to transgender license rights in Kansas
Kansas District Judge Teresa Watson refused to lift a July 2023 order barring the Kansas Department of Revenue from updating the sex marker on transgender residents' driver licenses. The decision follows an AG suit aligned with a 2023 law ending legal recognition of transgender identities, while ACLU argued the policy violates rights under the Kansas Constitution. The 2019 Kansas Supreme Court bodily autonomy ruling is cited but unrelated to LGBTQ rights.
