On Monday, a judge in Kansas ruled in favor of the state’s conservative attorney general, finding that people who identify as transgender do n’t have to face discrimination if their state IDs or driver’s licenses are not subject to sex change laws.
District Judge Teresa Watson amended an earlier decision from July 2023 that forbids trans people from displaying their biological sexual on ID cards in a document.
Democrat governor Kris Kobach was the first to file a lawsuit against Republican Attorney General. After a laws passed by the legislature that prohibited intercourse changes on ID cards, Laura Kelly in 2023 suspended the law. Kelly vetoed the bill that caused the petition, dubbed SB 180. The jury then effected a momentary restraining order.

Kobach praised the rule of law and common sense in a speech. The court ruled that the meaning of the law is clear and that the Legislature correctly stated that state companies should report biological sex at birth.
Watson gave the permission to use the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) to reflect trans people in the case. They claimed that the law may violate the country’s law, which the Supreme Court ruled in 2019 provides a right to bodily autonomy. The SCOTUS decision at the time involved exposure to contraception.

According to Watson, “information that is recorded on a pilot’s license does not impair transgender people’s ability to control their own systems or demonstrate bodily integrity or self-determination.” They can make their own decisions about their bodies, their health, how their families are organized, and how their home lives are lived.
In the 31-page memo, Watson claimed that it would be” an unreasonable stretch” to apply the SCOTUS decision to the no-change scheme for state-issued IDs.

Wattson continued,” It did not say Kansans have a basic state legal right to control what information is displayed on a state-issued driver’s license. Additionally, according to the intervenors ‘ testimony at the hearing, presenting a driver’s license that denotes a sex distinction from the person’s expressed gender did not lead to physical abuse, verbal abuse, job loss, benefits loss, support disqualification, or negative interactions with law enforcement. Instead, Intervenors expressed concern for feeling uneasy, shamed, or uncomfortable when someone stares at their driver’s license and asks them for a “disgusted look,” remark.
Just two states, Kansas and Florida, are the only ones that already forbid sexual changes on state-issued ID cards.
The ACLU’s LGBTQ+ legal brother D. C. Hiegert said in a statement to Fox News Digital that they were “disappointed” by the ruling that” the choice may lead to the abuse, neglect of service, or worse.
The declaration read,” We remain sceptical that the imagined damage to the state was ever outweigh the enormous hurt our clients and other trans Kansans have and will continue to suffer from being forced to carry,” the statement read.
