Though it is one of the few states left to enforce such restrictions, a judge in Kansas has reaffirmed a ruling that it would be an “unreasonable stretch” to depart from a recently-passed law that requires driver’s licenses to display a person’s biological sex and not their preferred gender identity.

The ruling from Third Judicial District Judge Teresa Watson cements her order from last year upholding a law that opponents say grossly limits rights for transgender individuals, but supporters say protects women’s rights by, in part, stopping people from changing their sex on their government-issued driver’s license.

The law, known as the Women’s Bill of Rights, was enacted over a veto from Gov. Laura Kelly, a Democrat. It was also a response to legislation the governor had passed that permitted changes to sex on licenses to begin with. But when Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach, a Republican, sued in July to stop those changes in their tracks, Watson agreed with Kobach and granted a temporary restraining order.

Watson’s order published Monday solidified that indefinitely.
