Representative Kirk Haskins of Topeka joined other Kansas lawmakers raising concerns about a new state law affecting gender markers on identification documents. According to reporting from CountOn2 and the Associated Press, two transgender men have filed a lawsuit challenging the law after it invalidated their driver’s licenses along with roughly 1,700 others that reflected gender identity rather than sex assigned at birth. The case argues the measure violates constitutional protections for privacy, autonomy, and due process. Coverage of the story also showed lawmakers, including Haskins, displaying small LGBTQ pride flags in the House chamber as debate over the legislation continues at the Statehouse.
