Transgender people have been able to change their driver\u0027s licences in Kansas for at least four years, and almost 400 people have done it.
Watson wrote in her brief order that for the motor vehicles division to keep making changes for transgender people would case “immediate and irreparable injury.” Driver’s licenses remain valid for six years, and Watson noted Kobach’s argument that licenses “are difficult to take back or out of circulation once issued.”
The governor’s office has said attorneys at the division of vehicles’ parent agency, the Kansas Department of Revenue, do not believe allowing transgender people to change their driver’s licenses violates the new law. Jones also said potential problems for law enforcement should be weighed against the harm to the mental health and safety of transgender people who don’t have licenses that match their gender identities.
“For me, it’s all about having my stuff reflect who I am personally,” he said after speaking at a recent transgender rights rally at the Kansas Statehouse. “Knowing that my legal documents say that I am female is very uncomfortable.”Article content
