#Trans folx in #Kansas given 1 day to surrender their (now invalid) IDs and driver's licenses to the state.

@alice Sadly, yes. All of the "WE DON'T WANT THIS" from the constituents falls on deaf ears for the corrupt legislature. I'm hoping things get less awful here after mid-terms, but there's a LOT of damage the jackasses have caused in the last several years that needs to be undone. In the meantime, I'd recommend anyone thinking of moving to Kansas to stay away. The land is beautiful and the people are friendly, but the laws here are fucked.

@alice

My European driving licence has an entry about which vehicles I'm allowed to drive. And if I would be required to wear glasses.

Nothing about my sex.

Even though some people (almost always men) express their feelings of inferiority by choosing an overpowered vehicle - nobody (at least somehow sane) drives it with their genitalia.

These law makers in Kansas are batshit crazy. My sympathy to all who are affected.

Just fuck these people.

@Goodlucksil @alice Every fascist regime needs an "out group", a group of people to rally against, to present as enemies to keep their support base occupied.

@Fettlaus because they don't actually have any of their own. I know, it's weird, but true. Republicans are all like Ken dolls down there. It's part of the deal they made with Satan for him to send them Reagan, and they're still salty about how that turned out.

@alice This is wrong and ridiculous and I hate everything about it.

@alice Cis people need to fucking well read this and do something.

[weirdone@wehavecookies.social]

@alice It would be interesting to see if trans people would sue Kansas for not letting them be people, or some such thing. It would be nice to have SCOTUS reverse the decision, and then fine the hell out of the Kansas government.

I'm currently listening to an audio book of Gregory Maguire's Wicked and this line hits VERY differently :')

@swaldman @alice I honestly don't get why we still list the US as "safe to travel" in the travel advisories either.

@alice

Hard to believe how far the once called land of the free has fallen.

Like a dark science fiction dystopia where lunatics and pedophiles prevail..

@alice How is this not a terror campaign? "We know who you are and where you live, today we're taking away your license to drive and we can take more tomorrow".

[phl@mastodon.social]

@swaldman @alice Last time I said this in a chat I got a similar answer — it makes sense, and yet it doesn't. Especially in the shadow of all the anti-EU/Europe rants we've heard and the active threat against Greenland.

@alice

Isn't Driving While Black already targeted!? Either way, yes, those in power are doing everything they can to criminalise us, and will not stop until only rich white able bodied right type of Christian dudes can drive.
