Kansas judge rules keeping biological sex on IDs does not harm transgender

Kansas Judge Teresa Watson kept in place an existing ruling she decided in July 2023 to prohibit the Department of Revenue from allowing individuals to change their biological sex on ID cards.
Republican Attorney General Kris Kobach first sued Democratic Gov. Laura Kelly in 2023 after a law passed by the legislature suspended sex changes on ID cards. Kelly vetoed the bill – SB 180 – sparking the lawsuit. The court then issued a temporary restraining order. Jamie Joseph is a writer who covers politics.

"This decision is a victory for the rule of law and common sense," Kobach said in a statement. "The Legislature wisely stated that state agencies should record biological sex at birth, and today the court held that the meaning of the law is clear."
