Kansas is in hot water

Two transgender men are taking the Kansas government to court over a law that’s essentially voiding their driver’s licenses. It’s a move that’s got many scratching their heads, wondering what the state’s trying to achieve with this nonsense.

The lawsuit

The men, who aren’t named in the suit, claim the state’s policy is discriminatory and won’t let them change their sex on their licenses. They’re not asking for much – just the same rights as everyone else. It’s not like they’re seeking special treatment or anything.

The lawsuit’s a direct challenge to the state’s law, which says people can’t change their sex on official documents unless they’ve had surgery. It’s a ridiculous requirement, if you ask me. I mean, what’s next? Demanding people prove their eye color or something?
