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.

 Danko-Wasagu LG Chairman Denies U.S. Lawmaker’s Claims On Maga School Girls, Says All Are Muslims; Releases Names
