Under a recent anti-LGBTQ law passed by the Kansas Legislature, transgender residents will be prohibited from changing the sex on their driver’s licenses and other official documents. When the law takes effect July 1, lawyers and advocates say it could lead to harassment and discrimination.
LAWRENCE — A small group of protesters rattled the door of the library auditorium, trying to get in as an LGBTQ rights lawyer informed transgender Kansans what protections and resources they need to lock down before a wide-ranging transgender bathroom ban goes into effect in July.
“We’re trying to do triage care as lawyers right now, as trans rights lawyers,” said attorney Ellen Bertels, with Kansas Legal Services. “We’re doing emergency room care. So that means where is it bleeding, how do we stop the bleeding?”

Ga;d they passed the law. You put what you are naturally born with. If you get pulled over and searched you have the right to be searched by someone of the same sex.
If possibly taken to jail you will be put with the sex you are born with not the one you id with. If you want to be something other than what you naturally are then do it, just put the right sex on the drivers license.
