Kansas' law doesn't create a new crime, impose criminal penalties or fines for violations or even say specifically that a person has a right to sue over a transgender person using a facility aligned with their gender identity. Many supporters acknowledged before it passed that they hadn't considered how it will be administered.
When she vetoed the bill, Kelly suggested it was discriminatory and said it would hurt the state's ability to attract businesses. Under the new law in Kansas, legally "sex" means "biological" sex, "either male or female, at birth," though it allows accommodations for intersex people if their conditions are considered disabilities under U.S. law.
Kansas Senate President Ty Masterson, a Wichita-area Republican, said he expects police to intervene if there's "any kind of harassing behavior" but transgender people still will use facilities associated with their gender identities "if they’re discreet about it."
