Kansas SB 180 or the Kansas Women's Bill of Rights is a bill which bans any identification of any gender outside the gender assigned at birth in the US state of Kansas, despite federal recognition of transgender people, the bill is generally considered transphobic. The current governor of Kansas Laura Kelly has vetoed the bill.
The bill would define a women as those with "biological reproductive systems that are developed to produce an ova." The bill is controversial for excluding intersex people, such as those with ambiguous genitalia, with both male or female reproductive organs, or women born without ovaries.
Despite the fact that the federal government recognizes gender transition on things like passports, birth certificates and housing, the bill would completely reject transgender people as an identity. The bill restricts agencies, both public and private from assigning any gender other than that assigned at birth. The bill's proponents state that gender identity and biological sex should be defined in law, with the need for specific sex spaces excluding trans people. It is largely seen to take away human rights that trans people have in the state of Kansas, as well as to write transgender people outside the law.
