#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.

@weirdone @alice I canβt 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 youβre 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 itβs completely useless.
@peterbrown @weirdone @alice This isn't about utility. If it were they'd be combatting their piss poor public health, education system, homelessness, poverty, etc etc. This is about targetting a group of people and saying you have the solution to 'make them go away'. I agree though, it kind of makes the ID useless.

@alice Why is it that conservative forces are always so fixated on other people's genitals?
(Interestingly in more than one way)
-
Yeah, pretty much. German political leaders always stressed the "Transatlantic Friendship/Alliance", and it would be awkward to admit that this now belongs on the dung heap of history.
And this doesn't even count the European political leaders who were extruded from the American business machine, such as our own Friedrich #Merz (a #Blackrock veteran).
-
@alice ....and yet European countries still (so far as I understand it) refuse asylum claims on the basis that "The USA is a Safe Country".
Personally, I would recommend Americans who need to escape to Europe to move there via a student visa. Those are much easier to get, and you will have a much better status - you can get part-time jobs with them.

@Fettlaus@social.tchncs.de @alice@lgbtqia.space
the genitals are a pretext - it's about a marginalised group that they think can't defend itself or have others step in to defend them. -

WTF, this is a crock of shit. So, Lindsey Graham needs to be next?
Those Kansas people are terminally stupid. -

Miss Nancy is going to be okay, despite selling his soul a decade ago. He'll die in disgrace and be remembered as a gutless traitor, but he won't suffer for his moral crimes before he dies.

@jabgoe2089 In this case, it's about the general human obsession with social gender, which the Western world has equated to biological sex for several centuries now. As gender is neurological, it cannot be tested at birth, so your Sex Assigned At Birth is based entirely on (limited) biological evidence. Many people, such as the weirdo Xtians who run Kansas, believe that sex and gender are the same thing, so what a doctor saw twixt your nethers at birth is Who and What You Are, no backsies.
-
@alice I will gladly pay a $1000 f8ne for someone if I can get the address of the plaintiff to hand deliver the check.
@ATLeagle Unfortunately, it's worse than that. You can also do time under this rule. And this can escalate fast, because 1st ofc = 90 days suspension, and how will you get around in that time? Violate that, and you face more serious consequences.
Kansas gave people almost no warning about this, and will impose real penalties starting TODAY.

@alice because the gender marker on my drivers license is the important part showing im a competent machine operator :<

As a journalist once titled a book: "What's the matter with Kansas?"
Our red states brethren are sick puppies.
@jawarajabbi @alice
They still havenβt gotten all the corners of Brownback stench out. The governor vetoed this, but too many people there still vote for the Republican scum legislators who created this. The Koch(s) have big influence in Kansas.Two of my companyβs big yearly meetings are in Kansas. Iβve refused to go for over 10 years.
-
@alice ....and yet European countries still (so far as I understand it) refuse asylum claims on the basis that "The USA is a Safe Country".
@swaldman @alice This would only list Kansas as unsafe. You'd have to run out of all "safe" states before they'd start accepting asylum claims from trans USians with a chance of success. Atm even Palestine or Syria aren't places where you can get guaranteed successful asylum claims (glances at Syrian refugees currently being sent back to unsafe situations). -
@starfrost Well, in Kansas, maybe. We'll see how far it goes. But Kansas already has a very long track record of this kind of BS. My advice to anyone there, even 10 years ago, would be to just leave if you can. Kansas doesn't seem likely to get better any time soon, and there are better places to live.
-
@alice Republican I presume? Really, the most disgusting people in the world. Poor USA or for the republicans NSA (Nazi.....). Dear Lord, sent them with a one way ticket to hell.
Democratic governor with far-right legislators in both houses. She vetoed the bill and they overrode it.
-
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.
@retrimental I'm not sure how you're getting 'tax' out of this. Forfeiture (the legal term for payment of a fine) is the very least of the potential consequences here. 1st offence is also 90 days suspension, and if you violate that it's minimum 5 days in jail. They can also jail you for this at any level. A 'tax' would be quaint next to that.

@alice wait a minute, let me get this straight, the Pedophiles are at war with queer folx? It legal to sexually abuse children but illegal to drive a car based on a deviation from birth gender.

@swaldman Yeah, that's a real problem. And you'd expect Western European countries, if any, to be alert to this. I, too, wonder how much longer it will take for them to come around. I think most of them have are waiting for each other to make the first move.
