A number of organizations, including the ACLU of Kansas, Equality Kansas, Kansas Interfaith Action, Loud Light, Mainstream, Planned Parenthood Great Plains Votes, and Trust Women Foundation are warning legislators that the bill’s extreme reach could have unintended consequences.

Transgender Kansans represented by the ACLU of Kansas and the ACLU have filed a notice of appeal in Kansas v. Harper, the ongoing litigation over gender marker changes on Kansas driver’s licenses.

Notably absent from Attorney General Kobach's letter to school districts about their policies protecting transgender students is a meaningful legal analysis, so we are glad to provide one.

“The policy change being pursued by the Attorney General is a degrading and discriminatory affront to transgender Kansans’ liberty and their safety, and the voices of transgender Kansans in defense of their personhood shall not and will not be silenced.”

While the court’s decision today is disappointing and undoubtedly leaves transgender Kansans in fear, we want to make clear that this decision is not the final decision in the case. This order is only in effect until a hearing can be held on this matter where fuller arguments will be considered.

"Our clients deserve to live their lives free of harassment, discrimination, and violence – all consequences that Mr. Kobach’s erroneous legal interpretations are designed to encourage.”

The ACLU of Kansas reminds transgender Kansans that Mr. Kobach's "advisory opinion" about SB 180 is little more than bluster.

The ACLU of Kansas vehemently condemned a motion filed late Friday night by Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach, where he requested permission to no longer follow a 2019 federal court order requiring the state to issue birth certificates with corrected gender markers to transgender Kansans.

The frenzy of attacks on transgender people this session by extremist Kansas lawmakers are truly stunning in their cruelty -- and also do not align with the views of the majority of Kansans.
