Kansas passes bill forcing residents to use bathroom of the sex they were at birth - and also bans trans name and gender changes on driving licenses
A Kansas bill has been passed that ruled people must use the bathroom corresponding with the sex, either male or female, that they were born with.
It also included a ban on transgender people changing the name or gender on their driver's licenses. The bill cleared the Legislature Tuesday.
The Kansas Senate voted 28-12 with one vote more than a two-thirds majority needed to overturn any veto, giving final passage to an earlier House-passed version and sending it to Gov. Laura Kelly. Both chambers have Republican supermajorities.
The measure deals with bathrooms, locker rooms and other facilities, and defines 'sex' as 'either male or female, at birth,' a move LGBTQ+-rights advocates said would legally erase transgender people and deny recognition to non-binary, gender fluid and gender non-conforming people.

The governor's a D-communist.
She'll veto this as a matter of course.
Will the legislature (with their supposed "veto-proof majorities") have the gumption to overturn the veto?
My guess is... probably not.
(I'd like to be proven wrong)
