Transgender Kansans are living in fear and confusion under a new state law that declares some IDs invalid, and restrict their use of bathrooms. Some want to leave the state, and some national groups are helping people flee.

A Douglas County District Court judge ruled that the law may be enforced during an ongoing lawsuit by transgender Kansans and the American Civil Liberties Union.

Two transgender men from Lawrence filed a lawsuit last week to stop the new Kansas law from taking effect. Hundreds of transgender residents were told their IDs are immediately invalid and must be replaced.

Some legislators were unclear if Kansas law already requires the use of turn signals in a roundabout. "As much as I hate them stupid things," Berryton Republican Sen. Rick Kloos said, "I like the bill."

Some transgender Kansans received letters urging them to request new IDs that conflict with their gender identity and presentation, because their current ones are "invalid immediately." It’s the result of a new law that also regulates which bathrooms transgender people are allowed to use.

Kansas lawmakers say that requiring driver's licenses to list legal status would reduce noncitizen voting — something that is exceedingly rare. One study says suspected cases happen just 0.0001% of the time.

The only driver’s license office south of the river closed without warning in early January, leaving many drivers in Kansas City with limited options. Now, it's operating again.
