Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach has asked a federal judge to allow state officials to bar people from changing their birth certificates, a move designed to enforce a sweeping, statewide anti-trans law that is due to go into effect next week.
— also deems that “distinction between the sexes” in the places the law outlines is designed for “protecting” the public’s “health, safety and privacy" and requires state agencies to identify people “at birth” as male or female for “accurate” data collection.
The filing pertains to a four-year-old consent decree that required Kansas to allow people with birth certificates issued in the state to change those documents. The decree itself was the result of a 2018 lawsuit in which a group of transgender people sued Kansas, arguing that policies in place at the time preventing them from changing their birth certificates were unconstitutional.
