An analysis of its coverage reveals a pattern of misrepresentations, deceptions, distortions, the exclusion of trans voices, and the endorsement of contempt.

Kansas is invalidating trans residents' licenses even if they HAVEN'T changed their gender markers, according to this reporting from @natezuke.bsky.social @assignedmedia.org: www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

This story, from @natezuke.bsky.social, is absolutely wild. A trans woman who never changed her gender marker was issued a letter invalidating her license. At the DMV they cut up her license, which had an "M" marker. www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

Update/Scoop— New guidance sent this AM to Kansas DMVs indicates licenses that previously had gender marker changed not actually invalid yet. However, internally DMV can see who is flagged, and keeping track of who has/hasn't come in to update. Seems about 300 trans/GNC ppl flagged across the state.
Good morning,

As a reminder notice was sent to about 300 Kansas credential holders on 2/23/26 and 2/25/26 and those records will reflect SB244 MM/DD/YY. If you see SB244 UPDATED it means the applicant has come in and been reissued whether they were sent a notice or not.

Currently, KDOR has not "invalidated" any records for people who were sent letters due to the passing of SB244 which requires the "sex at birth" to be listed on Kansas credentials. If this is completed, we will let you know.

Even if a record isn't flagged as having an updated gender, we are still required to update these records to reflect the applicant's "sex at birth" when they come in to be reissued. The applicant does not need to provide any documentation for the update other than their current credential and proof of address.

KDOR's Gender Reclassification Policy has been updated to include information regarding the handling of these records and information you may need.

Please reach out if you have any questions.

also because it's Kansas, and it's a Bad State so it's not surprising for bad things to happen here, and it's our fault for living here anyway and trying to fight back and not just moving away (with all the disposable income we all have, you know a rich state like Kansas)

It is very hard not to have a safe choice to use the bathroom in public. It may be impossible to continue living, working, eating, etc without a valid driver's license if your life was built around driving and the assumption that your license wouldn't be invalidated overnight by the legislature.
