The Kansas Women's Bill of Rights is a bill which bans any identification of any gender outside the gender assigned at birth in the US state of Kansas, despite federal recognition of transgender people,[1] the bill is generally considered transphobic.[2] The current governor of Kansas Laura Kelly has stated she plans to veto the bill.[3]
Despite the fact that the federal government recognizes gender transition on things like passports, birth certificates[1] and housing, the bill would completely reject transgender people as an identity. The bill restricts agencies, both public and private from assigning any gender other then that assigned at birth.[4] The bill's proponents state that gender identity and biological sex should be defined in law, with the need for specific sex spaces excluding trans people.[5] It is largely seen to take away human rights that trans people have in the state of Kansas, as well as to criminalize identifying as transgender.[6][7]
