WASHINGTON, July 10 (Reuters) - A judge on Monday ordered Kansas to stop allowing transgender people to change the gender listed on their driver's licenses after a lawsuit filed by the state's Republican attorney general. Shawnee County District Court Judge Teresa Watson issued the temporary restraining order on Monday. Some states have banned teachers of younger children from discussing gender or sexuality, while conservative lawmakers have also proposed or passed laws restricting drag performances. In June, President Joe Biden warned of "ugly" attacks from "hysterical" people who he said were targeting LGBTQ+ Americans, especially transgender youth.
