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. Unlike similar restrictions in other states, Kansas’ law retroactively invalidates previously issued documents. Legal advocates warn that the law threatens the privacy and safety of transgender residents, forcing them to disclose their gender identity in situations ranging from employment applications to renting property or opening bank accounts.

A 10-YEAR-OLD LOUISIANA GIRL MAINTAINS COOL AND ACTIVATES HERO MODE AFTER HER FATHER WAS SEVERELY INJURED WHILE KAYAKING. (PHOTO).


 A 10-year-old Louisiana girl maintains cool and activates hero mode after her father was severely injured while kayaking. 

This unstoppable young girl was kayaking with her dad on Bogue Chitto River in Washington Parish on Wednesday, June 18th. During their father-daughter outing, the duo had an accident that left her father bleeding profusely from his head. 


Instead of panicking, this 10-year-old maintained full composure. She was able to pull her dad out of the water and onto a sandbar. She then hopped back into the kayak alone and paddled away for help. 


Eventually she was able to reach high ground at Warnerton Bridge approximately a quarter mile upstream, and call out for help. First responders arrived at where the young girl was, in the hopes to provide emergency aid to the injured man. However, when rescuers attempted to wade up the river that the young girl had just traversed alone, they were driven back by strong currents and deep waters. They were amazed the young girl traversed these currents and deep waters alone. 


The Washington Parish Sheriff's Office would ultimately have to launch a rescue boat upstream. They were able to locate the injured man and transport him to waiting EMS personnel. 


A father-daughter trip that could have ended tragically, had a happy ending; all thanks to one cool headed 10-year-old daughter's bravery and love. 


Great job!
