Kansas driver’s license law puts some transgender residents in ID limbo A new Kansas law has effectively invalidated the driver’s licenses and other government-issued documents of transgender residents, leaving many in legal and personal limbo. Senate Bill 244, which went into effect immediately after the legislature overrode Gov. Laura Kelly’s veto, requires that the gender listed on a driver’s license align with the state’s binary definition of male and female. The law also directs the state registrar to “correct” birth certificates that do not match these definitions.

 Mexico coach Aguirre hit with beer can after Honduras defeat


Mexico coach Javier Aguirre was left with blood pouring down his face when he was hit by a full can of beer after the final whistle of his side's 2-0 defeat by Honduras. The drink was thrown from the stands and struck the 65-year-old as he approached Honduras manager Reinaldo Rueda to offer a post-match handshake after the first leg of the Nations League quarter-final.


Aguirre congratulated Rueda with blood running down his face and brushed off the incident in his post-match news conference. "They deserved to win, they were better than us in areas, I've got nothing left but to congratulate them, and well, to try to lift my team's spirit," said Aguirre with a smile. "The other thing, there's no point in even mentioning it because well it's football, I'm not one to complain."


The Mexican football federation said the behaviour has "no place in our sport". "We demand that Concacaf takes immediate and decisive action to address this matter,," it added. "Soccer should be a celebration, not a battleground." Concacaf, the Confederation of North, Central America and Caribbean Association Football, said it will investigate the incident.
