A Kansas law that invalidated about 1,700 driver's licenses over the mismatch between birth gender and gender identity is being challenged in court by two transgender-identifying males.
The law invalidates birth certificates and driver's licenses where the sex does not match the one assigned to the individual at birth. Invalidation notices were sent to trans-identifying persons this week.
'This legislation is a direct attack on the dignity and humanity of transgender Kansans.'
Republicans argued that the law was necessary to protect women and girls, but the lawsuit claims that it is unconstitutional and "dehumanizing."
Other states have similar laws, but Kansas is the only state that invalidates documents that were previously changed.
"The Kansas Constitution prohibits the Kansas Legislature's targeting of transgender individuals for this discriminatory and dehumanizing treatment," the lawsuit reads.
The two males are represented by attorneys from the American Civil Liberties Union and are only identified under the pseudonyms Daniel Doe and Matthew Moe. They want to remain anonymous out of fear of discrimination, harassment, and violence.
A statement from the ACLU says the law "violates the Kansas Constitution's protections for personal autonomy, privacy, equality under the law, due process, and freedom of speech."

About 1,800 birth certificates were also invalidated. The law was passed after the legislature overturned a veto from Governor Laura Kelly, a Democrat.
"This legislation is a direct attack on the dignity and humanity of transgender Kansans," reads a statement from ACLU Kansas legal director Monica Bennett. "It undermines our state's strong constitutional protections against government overreach and persecution."

NBA superstar Kevin Durant accused critics of American basketball culture of taking indirect shots at black athletes under the guise of praising European player development — arguing that the criticism is simply masking frustration at black Americans dominating the sport.
Stephen A. Smith then backed Durant’s take on “The Stephen A. Smith Show,” claiming that globalization efforts are attempting to “whiten” the sport as a whole.
“I just don’t like the talk around the USA versus European style of how you approach the game. All I hear is, ‘AAU is destroying the game; the Euros do it right while the Americans do it wrong,’” Durant said in his rant.
“It’s a lot of bulls**t with that. I can read between the lines on that. It’s a shot at black Americans. We’re controlling the sport. They’re tired of us controlling the sport. ‘France is coming for you.’ Really? We smacked them boys,” he added.
“Ladies and gentlemen, I’m here to tell you I’m ten toes down on this with Kevin Durant. He’s a thousand percent right. America, when you talk about globalizing the sport, certainly money has everything to do with it,” Smith responded.
“But the other part in globalizing your brand is whitening the sport, too.”
While Smith agreed, BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock couldn’t agree less.
Whitlock tells Jay Skapinac on “Fearless” that Smith appears to be arguing that “white fans wouldn’t watch the NBA unless … these white Europeans were here.”
“I think that’s B.S. I don’t think white fans were crying out for these foreign-born players to come whiten up the league,” he says.
“Generally, it’s the people that are playing the race card and trying to race-bait, they’re actually the racist ones,” Skapinac chimes in.
“Like Kevin Durant has to talk about Euros versus Americans like it’s black and white, but he’s the one that’s making it that way. … He is the one that is invoking the race card and race-baiting,” he adds.
