I guess they ???could dress in reverse drag??? to drive and vote?
Fuck you Kansas.
Shit like this is why I no longer believe in the abolishment of death penalty.
It should be the opposite. This is the perfect example of why the death penalty should 100% be abolished. Right now they’re going after driver licenses and bathroom usage, but the slippery slope is very slippery. It won’t take much for them to make being trans an illegal offense punishable by death.
It won’t take much for them to make being trans an illegal offense punishable by death.
What they’ll do is make something like “the sexual abuse of children” punishable by death, but define being trans (probably verbiage would be “crossdressing”) within so many feet of a child as sexual abuse.
Then, when people try to argue against it, they can be like “oh, you want to protect pedophiles?”
Okay, probably I can settle with absolute life in prison, if said prison is a solitary confinement without any access to their preferred religious materials and/or food.
Western democracy says you should tolerate fascists so they can crush you
I just changed mine to NB in my state. $20 to upgrade to real id at the same time.
Better keep picking on less than 1% of the population instead of trying to solve the problems effecting everyone.
They’re intentionally focusing on the wrong 1%. Going after trans people is meant to serve as a distraction.
And notice how they gave NO GRACE PERIOD for them whatsoever to cause as much pain and suffering. You can’t drive, you can’t buy alcohol, tobacco, etc. This goes to show what happens when hateful racists run the entire government and need a minority group to attack and blame everything on.
Remember to vote people, this is why voting is so important.
They gave no grace period and invalidated licenses during elections.
Quit blaming the victims, this is what the result of voting looks like.
ACLU in Kansas is representing two plaintiffs suing the state over this.
Im pretty sure every domino in that image is in the process of falling down, not just trans…
Wtf. This is fucking stupid
why do we even need sex or gender marked on driver’s licences?
I guess so that the police can know whether to say “stop resisting ma’am” or “stop resisting sir” when they pull the driver from the vehicle and start beating them?
nah that can’t be it they don’t care about misgendering
You misunderstand; they need to know what gender you identify as specifically so they can misgender you.
Cruelty.
Rapist cops.

This is so fucked up on so many levels. Next step will be trying to erase trans people from being able to go outside or have a job. I’m surprised Kansas lawmakers just didn’t go ahead and make all trans people sew a pink triangle to everything they wear.

Kansas, like most all of the USA is very car dependent so losing a drivers license could result in not being able to commute to a job
As terrible as it is, then notice does say that you will be given a replacement license when you hand in the current one. So it’s not like they won’t be able to drive.
My girlfriend is trans. She doesn’t look ANYTHING like a man. In a few months she won’t even have a penis. But if she had to go through this and have her license say M on it, anyone reading it will be extremely confused.

Because if she lived in Kansas, in a few months she won’t have any external male parts whatsoever, and if she had to put an M on her license it wouldn’t even make sense.
I was providing an example of just how utterly stupid this law is.
I’m sorry she’s having to deal with this BS. I have a feeling the next step is to arrest her in a pullover for having an invalid license when the cop doesn’t believe the M instead of the F and says it’s fake. Or when she tries to go to a bar and gets told its fake.
She’s (I say this with a massive amount of sigh) fortunately in Ohio, so doesn’t have to deal with this. I’m still working on seeing if she can file for refugee status here in Canada and she can move here.
But what you are saying is 100% part of the point. Make trans people’s licenses look like they’re fake. A trans male who looks more dude than me, a cis man, with an F on his license might get more harassed about it, arrested, etc. The cruelty is the point. The right knows they can’t just make being trans illegal. But they can sure work their way towards it slowly. And this is just another step towards it.
First they came for.
Definitely, all I’m saying is that she will still have a license and still will be able to drive.
Except now her license would have an M on it, even thought she looks completely like a woman. Driving isn’t the issue here. Anywhere that checks ID like bars, liquor stores, anywhere would now see her license, see an M, look at her, and think it’s either fake, or outing her publicly as trans.
This is now a frightening reality for any trans person in Kentucky.
What a shame. The trans people of Kansas deserve far better than this disgusting violation.

“We apologize for the inconvenience this causes you.”
How nice.
“We apologize for the fact that you live under a state legislature that doesn’t respect your humanity.”
With a zero day grace period to get things changed, they don’t apologize for anything, not even in a veiled way.
