Kansas' attorney general wants to keep trans people from intervening in his lawsuit over state IDs

The Republican attorney general in Kansas is working to keep transgender people from intervening of his state-court lawsuit against changing the sex listings on their state driver’s licenses. Five transgender individuals are seeking to intervene, and Attorney General Kris Kobach said Thursday that he opposes such a move. Kobach sued two top officials at the stage agency that issues driver's licenses earlier this month after Democratic Gov. Laura Kelly announced that the license changes would continue. Kobach contends a new state law rolling back transgender rights prevents such changes. A district judge is blocking further changes while the lawsuit proceeds, at least until Nov. 1.
