They're part of a protest group illustrating the absurdity of Kansas' anti-trans bathroom ban.

Excerpt:

“Supporters of S.B. 244, including Attorney General Kris Kobach and Senate Majority Leader Ty Masterson, billed it as a way to keep men out of women’s spaces; it clearly requires some men to enter women’s spaces,” said the activist group, KS SB244 Compliance Crew, in a press release.

“Segregating people by suspected genitalia does nothing to improve public safety; it does quite the opposite by opening Kansans up to sexual harassment and discrimination. At no point should anyone be asking anyone else what genitals they have in public,” the release added.
