Transgender Kansans Challenge State Law Invalidating Their Driver's Licenses

Saturday, February 28, 2026

1. Yesterday, we broke the story that Kansas drivers licenses for transgender people were being immediately revoked by the state.
This morning, the ACLU filed suit in state court to block that process.
Thousands of trans Kansans watch with horror and hope.

"The lawsuit charges that SB 244 violates the Kansas Constitution's protections for personal autonomy, privacy, equality under the law, due process, and freedom of speech."

Kansas Supreme Court is split 5-2 Dems/Repubs. So the lawsuit has a chance since it isn't based on Fed law. If it had relied on Fed law, GOP SCOTUS would laugh it out of court.
