Kobach says trans Kansans' IDs will be changed back to their sex assigned at birth

TOPEKA, Kansas — Transgender Kansans who legally changed the gender on their drivers’ licenses or birth certificates will soon see them changed back by the state, Attorney General Kris Kobach said.

Kobach said Monday that an expansive new Kansas law defining male and female according to a person’s biological characteristics requires state agencies to maintain records in line with a person’s sex assigned at birth.

Trans Kansans will still be able to vote and drive using their current IDs, but future IDs will show their gender at birth. Birth certificates don’t have to be given back to the state, but the Kansas Department of Health and Environment will change its records. Those changes will then be reflected on any subsequent birth certificates issued.

“This is similar to when a person changes address,” Kobach said at a press conference. “You may still use your driver’s license with the incorrect address on it, but the new driver’s license that is issued when your current license expires will reflect the correct address.”

The story here is that someone, at some time, thought putting the wrong gender on a driver’s license, to placate a handful of perverts, was a good idea.

Indeed. Thankfully there is now someone in charge with the good sense to correct this dumb past decision
