WICHITA, Kan. (KWCH) - A Kansas law now in effect requires residents to use bathrooms corresponding with their sex assigned at birth and invalidates driver’s licenses and birth certificates that were altered to reflect a gender identity different from that assigned at birth. There is no grace period in the bill.
Trans residents are required to obtain new driver’s licenses immediately. Amended birth certificates must be requested through the Kansas Department of Health and Environment.
Kansas is the first state to include driver’s licenses and birth certificates under this type of law. Other states, including Texas, have passed similar bathroom requirements but did not extend them to identification documents. ‘At this point, I have no legal driver’s license’
Isadora John Avett, a trans woman who lives in Wichita, said the law has upended her daily life. Avett transitioned a few years ago.
“Blow to the gut. Watching my world disappear, a world I’d never expected,” Avett said.
She said transitioning had been a significant personal milestone.
“By the time I had lived myself, my true self, for a week, I could not go back,” Avett said.
Avett is among thousands of trans Kansans now working to update their identification.
“At this point, I have no legal driver’s license,” she said.
Avett said less than one percent of Kansans are transgender and described the law as targeting her community.
“There’s always somebody to hate. And they find a lot of coalition in that hatred,” Avett said.

Reading that far I thought this was going to be about Slick Willy Clinton.
I always wondered how the wymen would use the urinal.
You will notice that the “news” outlets never mention the fact that young girls would have to strip in locker rooms and showers in front of creeps pretending to be females if this BS was not outlawed. They always limit the stories to just the bathrooms.
Don't know why KS elects awful liberal women governors like Kelly, Sebelius, Kassebaum. Wish they would stop it.
No - if someone wants to live in that fantasy world, they can do so. But they don't have the right to force everyone else to live in their fantasy world as well. The reality of biology and language has nothing to do with "hate."

“their sex assigned at birth”
I truly despise this phrase. Sex is not “assigned” it’s an attribute you’re born with.
Do we “assign” skin color at birth, how about a nose. Is that something that is assigned?
And what about species, why not “assign” that too, so somebody could be assigned “dog” at birth?
That we accept these terms so readily disgusts me beyond belief.
Another one is “gender affirming care”, which in actuality is affirming delusions.
Gives me hope for my state. I gave up on my county - it’s getting bluer as the years pass.
Exactly! Along with Douglas and a few others.
Isadora blinded me with $cience.
Kansas is the first state to include driver licenses and birth certificates under this type of law.

Not really, local state and federal form of identification have always had sex and other characteristics listed.
When (or how) did it become even possible to falsify official documents? Never understood that. People can be strange, it’s true, very very strange, but when did the DMV start allowing nonsense? Makes no sense.
I saw this the other day: “Go west young them.” LoL.
I have noticed that too. MSM wants no focus on teenage girls having to strip in front of these sick creeps in High and Junior High schools.
You know it's a left-wing outlet when they use that phrase but at least they used "sex" instead of "gender". NO ONE is assigned a sex at birth. What happens is that your sex is recorded at birth!
You can be as tranny as you want, but you just can’t share a bathroom, locker room etc with your imaginary gender.
