In a recent ruling, a federal judge declared that Kansas government officials are now exempt from altering a person's birth certificate to reflect their gender identity. District Judge Daniel Crabtree, appointed by President Obama, stated that the constitution does not impose an obligation on state officials to change an individual's listed gender on their birth certificate.

This ruling revisits the case of Foster v. Anderson, which was settled in 2018 through a consent agreement that required state officials to modify birth certificates to align with a person's preferred gender.

Judge Crabtree clarified that the court did not come to this conclusion independently, rather the involved parties mutually reached this agreement and jointly requested the court to accept it.

The Consent Judgment, he explained, cannot be considered a reasoned conclusion made by the court. Republican Attorney General Kris Kobach argued that the consent agreement should be revoked, as it violated the state law's definition of 'male' and 'female,' which is solely based on biological sex. Kobach highlighted the clear intent of the legislature to ensure birth certificates reflect biological reality, rejecting attempts to distort the English language.
