I don’t know how true this is, or if it’s just a funny story. Years ago even before gay marriage even became a topic in mainstream media. I heard that a trans fem went to go get her ID changed from M to F. They refused to change it all the typical response. She got mad and well if they see me as M then I’ll dress like one. She took her top off and would walk around town topless. Cops would arrest her or try to write her tickets but she would go into Court and go my ID says M and men can walk around without a shirt, so what’s the problem. I think they eventually let her change her ID to F.
Again I don’t know if this is true just a funny story I heard a long time ago. Though it would be funny if it would happen today.
If this is NOT another reason to study and read socialist theory, then I don’t know what is. Seriously! https://redsails.org/
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.
Holy fuck what a shit take.
You get that elections aren’t unanimous, yes?
ACLU in Kansas is representing two plaintiffs suing the state over this.
And will it be resolved by elections? I think I know the answer
Im pretty sure every domino in that image is in the process of falling down, not just trans…
This is a great propaganda* image. Yoink ⚒️

There’s good propaganda and there’s bad propaganda.
Good propaganda is your effective propaganda, or your opposition’s ineffective propaganda. And vice versa.
This is good propaganda.
Top 1% of the of 1%. With the highest passing. /s

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.
Rapist cops.
Cruelty.
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.
Oh, yeah that’s a problem. I didn’t even consider using driver licenses as an ID, I’m used to having a national ID and forgot people use their driver’s license as an ID in the US.
I don’t even have a driver’s license because I never needed a car, public transport was great in all the cities in Europe where I lived.I’m probably very divorced from the US realities.
Better keep picking on less than 1% of the population instead of trying to solve the problems effecting everyone.
I would say they have us focusing on the wrong 1%. We should unite and go after the real problem.
They’re intentionally focusing on the wrong 1%. Going after trans people is meant to serve as a distraction.
We need a system that’s a lot more fairer and deals with the proletariat rather than the bourgeoisie. Luckily, there’s that system - it’s called socialism. Seriously!
Time to organize

“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.
Tshirtable
Instead of “identify as a fucking problem” it should say “identify as your fucking problem”
Sounds like voter suppression to me as they push the SAVE act.
Nah. This isn’t that. It’s bullshit, it’s unnecessarily cruel, but “get a new ID with the M or F switched to the one you don’t identify with” isn’t all that relevant to SAVE when either way that ID alone wouldn’t qualify as documentary proof of United States citizenship per SAVE. If you’re already taking time out to go to the DMV though, you may as well get what you were already going to need to meet SAVE while you’re out and dealing with government bureaucrats. See this as an excuse to get the other sorted too.
Seriously though, everyone needs to read SAVE and ensure you have what you need. Do it now, don’t wait until the election. Don’t even wait until SAVE passes. Be prepared for what they want to pull before they succeed at pulling it, because after they’re only going to make it harder.
Well, my hope of SAVE is that it’s held up in courts. Elections are a state right managed by the state.
I would hope it would collapse under 24A if nothing else, but I don’t trust our current SCOTUS that far. Best to be prepared for it than to hope it fails.
Alright, that’s 112 votes down, now for the rest!
What the fuck do the genitals I had at birth have to do with my ability to drive a car?
Republicans are obsessed with genitals. Maybe if we all send them a picture they can get it out of their system and finally grow up.
Good idea, let’s all try it. Think we should send a pic of our assholes too?
Why send them pictures of the US government?
What? You don’t use your genitalia to shift gears?
I must have missed that lesson
I have three pedals! How else am I supposed to use them all at once?
Heel-toe shifting is for chumps.
something someshit uh trans sports
these fucks do not understand human rights and won’t stop with their bullshit until they’re voted out of office.
Unfortunately, Kansastan.
You’re not going to vote your way out of fascism. Stories are already coming out of how they plan to “take control” of elections.
thanks I wasn’t aware of the fascist country I fucking live in.
If you read the text in front of you, you’d realize they do not think your gender affects your ability to drive. They just think the license is invalid due to the wrong gender being listed.
Why would it invalidate the licence? They were utterly fine with it up until now so what’s changed?
They want to fuck with trans people because they hate them. The thing that changed is they feel confident enough to do it now and that no one will act against them.
If you had read the subtext you would have realized they are transphobic
Yes, obviously. It is worth pointing out the absurdity of every excuse they use to be transphobic.
