Kansas goddamn.

@futurebird They could never have read Pierre Boulle's novel if it had stayed a book!!!

@futurebird It's heartbreaking and mind numbing.

I'm also very curious if any cis people got the letter by mistake. It seems likely.
Nearly all of the people who have been harassed in public over restrooms rules tend to be cis women who look a little butch or like a bowtie or something.
This isn't a flaw it's a feature. Because part of the purpose is to make a gender dress and behavior code for adults.
No men shall wear pink or nail polish. No women shall have whiskers on their chin or leave the house without a layer of foundation.
@futurebird This right here. I know so many people who are going to be harrassed because their physical appearance represents them differently than their sexual identity. It could easily turn into absolute mayhem and violent assaults.

@futurebird my best guess, the list is compiled from historical records of which Kansas residents have gotten the gender marker changed on their ID.
Monstrous regardless.

@futurebird @Anke As they always have. It's the immigrants, it's the gays, it's the freethinkers, it's the heretics…

The GOVERNMENT will tell you (yes you) how to be your gender correctly.
That's all this is. It's bullshit.
@futurebird Yes, from reading that letter, they want to use state power to punish anyone who steps out of their assigned place.

It's kind of obvious that what the Republican Kansas legislator would like to do is make being LGBT illegal. I find it somewhat promising that they have done something technical, creepy, and obnoxious instead. But they are pushing that boundary in the most obvious ways.
They are still too scared to do what they really want. The public ought to be disgusted.
I am.
@futurebird I want to ask bigots to read the science on the prenatal brain development that fixes gender identity & sexual orientation. But I'm also afraid they'll decide to order amniocentesis for every pregnant woman & try to "correct" intrauterine hormones to some cis template.

@futurebird whether or not cis people got sent the letter, they sure as hell will be pulled over in 'random' traffic stops by especially hostile cops. women will get this worst, of course. and don't be surprised is cops start intentionally targeting cis women they want to to trap in a less public space
cops already get away with literal murder on the basis of them having 'suspicions' about someone. you know what will happen if they're given more things to get 'suspicious' about

@futurebird Sounds like a return to colonial times with rigid gender norms.

Don't get it twisted this attack on trans people in Kansas (how did they identify the people they sent those letters to? They have a list, the monsters.) is a trial, a test. Let them get away with it they will move on to the next smallest group they feel they could target without public backlash.
That is how this works.
@futurebird easy to identify... database query... compare driver's license application and renewal records for any with a change to 'sex'. the addresses and such are all on file with the d.m.v. easy peasy.

There are people who are cis who have had the gender marker changed on their IDs to correct administrative errors.
They have gotten caught up in the current anti-trans moral panic too.
