#Trans folx in #Kansas given 1 day to surrender their (now invalid) IDs and driver's licenses to the state. As of tomorrow (Thursday), driving while trans is a class-B misdemeanor ($1000 fine and up to 6 months in jail).
The zero-grace-period execution means driving to turn in your license is a crime.
Oh yeah, this bill also enacted a bathroom bounty program allowing private individuals to sue trans folx for using the restroom.

This is sick beyond words. Will they next require wearing yellow stars?

@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.
@weirdone @alice I can’t understand how this will work because in eg. a traffic stop the cop will see a completely different person to that in the ID. Surely the whole purpose of ID is to prove you are who you say you are and if your ID says you’re a man and you look like a woman (or vice versa), it no longer serves any practical purpose. If you are a trans man or a trans woman, then your ID should reflect that, otherwise it’s completely useless.

@alice it's all so absolutely putrid and vile. I very much feel grief for my trans family in KS. I'm also living in a red state that has taken up residency in the white house and it feels like there's a competition btwn the red states to see who can lick the boots of the regime the best. At some tipping point, the entire queer community will have to stand in solidarity and fight beyond the keyboard. We will continue to suffer, and we will have losses but our community must show up for all local elections and engage in active resistance. Yes, we are terrified...daily. And this oppressive violence is also part of our history...attacked and betrayed by our government and fellow citizens relentlessly. But duty is calling. And every MAGA red queer is an enemy of the United Queer States of America. They betrayed their own by voting and supporting what's happening. It's madness running amok. And we must actively fight for our rights to exist equally. We are the calvary (military not xian). Organize and fight back.

Oh, a trans tax.
Years ago I'd laugh at this as a somewhat conservative guy but I try to be better.
If I see a lifestyle choice I don't agree with, I always ask myself if I'm willing to disown my future kid for the same choice. If I'm not willing to disown and cut ties, then I think it's fair that the choice be left alone.
Imagine implementing a Christian tax, or straight tax, or <insert totally normal thing> tax.
You get the point.

These people are pure evil. There's no good excuse for this.
