42. It's based on birth certificate infornation.

The gender marker on every state issued ID/driver's license issued in Kansas has to match the person's sex assigned at birth, as shown on their birth certificate. I presume people will be required to produce their birth certificate in order to obtain an ID or drivers license, and the DMV will have to make sure the ID matches the birth certificate.

I'm not sure how this is supposed to work for those now living in Kansas who were born in a state that allows gender to be changed on a person's birth certificate. But this legislation is sloppily written in many respects.

The GOP is working overtime in red states to stir up hate and bigotry toward trans people in order to distract Americans from all the things we are legitimately worried about, including everything Trump wants us all to ignore. It's absolutely reprehensible.
