Debate Over Kansas Transgender ID Law Includes Protest From Rep. Kirk Haskins

During debate over a Kansas law requiring identification documents to reflect a person’s sex assigned at birth, Representative Kirk Haskins of Topeka joined fellow lawmakers raising concerns about the policy’s impact on transgender Kansans. According to coverage from The Post Register, the law will invalidate driver’s licenses and birth certificates that previously reflected gender identity, affecting roughly 1,700 Kansas driver’s licenses and a similar number of birth certificates. Images from the Statehouse show Haskins and other legislators displaying small pride flags on their desks in protest as debate over the measure continued in the Kansas House chamber.
