They'll also be denied access to hormones and forced to detransition. I can't begin to tell you just how cruel all this is."

8:06 PM · Feb 25, 2026"Should any transgender person be caught driving without a valid license, they could face a class B misdemeanor carrying up to six months in jail and a $1,000 fine. Kansas already requires county jails to house inmates according to sex assigned at birth."
Kansas now has some of nation's strictest anti-trans laws, banning bathroom access and ID changes
The legislation bars individuals who are born without the ability to produce eggs for reproduction from using women’s restrooms, locker rooms and other gender-specific areas — and classifies intersex people as disabled. Democratic Gov. Laura Kelly vetoed the bill but the Republican-controlled Kansas Legislature narrowly voted to override and put it into law.

We need to keep up on all the bullies are doing. ALWAYS look for what they are doing in the background as they trow out flashy distractions. -
@_L1vY_ @jessdkant This is beyond fucked up. It’s heinous. KS has by law effectively un-personed trans people and will criminally punish them for living. I want to puke
@lawyersgunsnmoney @_L1vY_ @jessdkant I just hope a lot of them are successful business people who take their $$ and expertise out of KS.

9:57 PM · Feb 25, 2026"To do this, anti-trans lawmakers in Kansas moved fast to change the law, overrode the governor’s veto, and pushed for the legal changes to go into effect nearly immediately. That kind of power—to void gender on official documents, to compel gender conformity—is terrifying and it will not stop here."

7:09 AM · Feb 26, 2026" 'The persecution is the point,' said Rep. Abi Boatman, a Wichita Democrat and the only transgender member of the Legislature, who received the [Kansas Dept of Revenue] notice on Wednesday.' To underscore that: a Kansas state legislator is among those whose driver’s license will be voided.
Officials say they expect around 1,800 people to have their identity documents revoked."

#Via Jess Kant @jessdkant@tech.lgbt 8:43PM · Feb 25, 26 "As of tonight, licenses of trans people across KS are being invalidated en masse, overnight criminalization of an entire group of people for going about our lives. It’s often said you never know you’re living through history, so let me assure you: it’s happening now. Not just driving: voting, work, travel, picking up pkg, applying for credit, applying for job, renting, filling Rx, visiting loved ones in hospital. Not expired, but legally invalid."

"On December 3, 1938, following the November Pogrom (also known as Kristallnacht or 'Night of Broken Glass'), the Nazi government issued a decree to revoke the driver’s licenses of all Jews in Germany. This was part of a larger effort to marginalize and dehumanize Jewish citizens, removing their ability to participate in normal life and further isolating them from the rest of society." https://considerthesourceny.org/teaching-holocaust-and-genocide/holocaust-resources-time-period/indoctrination-and-discrimination/case-studies/thirteen-drivers-licenses -

1:13PM · Feb26 2026"I've literally no patience for anyone saying trans KNs 'just' have to go to DMV & get a new license. There was no time given and no process in place. Letters were sent to some whose licenses were invalidated, but not all. There was no grace period & many weren't notified. More or less a mathematical inevitability people will be charged for suspended licenses who had no idea a legally issued license was invalidated overnight for being trans."
