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

@alice I regularly think about the people and places around Kansas City I miss. The current politics there leave me with the feeling I'll never see them again in person.
-
@juergen_hubert they could have done so much. 1 very effective example: they could have voted, instead of not voting, they didn't because many said "dems or reps are all the same" and added to the problem. @swaldman @alice
@Ilka4You @juergen_hubert @swaldman @alice you are implying a level playing field, which is non-existent, and blaming the historically preferred internal victims of the USA. With the level of education, the quality of information, and the free time that they are given, I would be surprised of a different electoral behavior for most of the USA electorate.

@danni_storm @peterbrown @weirdone a M or F gender marker on an ID is already pretty useless when you have a photo on it.
And before anyone says "but some people don't look like their photos"—I don't look like an "M", an "F", or an "X" (which is what mine lists) either.
@alice @peterbrown @weirdone True. It's not useful and honestly photos aren't great either. I was told by a TSA agent that I and my partner look like twins (we don't) and she obviously was considering causing a stink. Thankfully she let us through.

@juergen_hubert @swaldman @alice I do know. I have lived in USA, have family & friends in USA I very much love. Yet, everyone who let this happen either by voting, or especially by NOT voting, or by ignoring, or by avoiding political talks with MAGA supporters is guilty. That would be everyone. Nothing will change if the "good ones" flee. It needs the good ones to stay and fight. Fact: we have no room in Europe to take them all in. Housingcrisis. Fleeing JUST relocates the problem to Europe.
@Ilka4You if you felt you needed to flee your country to avoid genocide—or even just to have a shot at a better life—I'd welcome you with open arms. We can sort out the details later, but in that moment, your humanity and my compassion for your life mean more to me than borders or blame.

@nuwagaba2 I think all the vulnerable groups (like LGBTQIA+, women, BIPoC, immigrants, disabled, and neurodivergent folx) already know what's coming...
It's the cishet white folks—especially the men—that need to step the fuck up and help change things.
@alice
That's right. But are they ready or just there waiting to first become victims of such actions? -
Please tell me exactly how, for example Black people "could have prevented what came upon them" with the Trump Administration. Or trans people.
Risking death while fighting an evil regime is honorable. Telling _other_ people to risk death while fighting an evil regime... is less so. I will judge Trump supporters, but I will _not_ judge others who have to make that kind of decision.

Is there still hope of making a change? -
@lemonlolita
Nearly half the voting population is actually quite ok with this.@mloxton@med-mastodon.com @alice@lgbtqia.space
The polls haven't shown that to be true in months! -
#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.

Swearing for you and so many others. This is clearly unfair. Would a trans licence from another state also now be illegal?? -

Absolutely sickening. When can we sue the Epstein Class for being in public? Leave trans people alone.
