A Boring Dystopia

"We apologize for the inconvenience this causes you."

Yes I'm sure you fucking do.

The cruelty is the point.

They knew this would be a deeply unpopular bill, which is why they refused to open it up to public input...This sets a dangerous precedent for further discriminatory laws. All because the chucklefucks that run Kansas legislation in my home state are fucking bigots and wanted some brownie points from a dementia suffering pres and his vocal minority. Disgusting, I don't want my neighbors or Kansas citizens being fucked over like this, it pisses me off on a scale that has no number.

This is total horse shit, but not even a grace period? That's extra evil.

First they came for the transgendered, and I didn't speak up because they didn't allot a public comment period.

The "your driver license is invalid immediately" is super fucking infuriating, especially in a country where without a driving license means being unemployable

Fucking scum, a driving license has nothing to do with sex. It is meant to prove that the cardholder is able to drive a vehicle or not.

Luckily I live in a continent where the cardholder sex isn't mentioned at all in the driving license (eu directive of 2006)

It boils my fucking blood that my tax dollars are paying for this

Your right to self identify doesn't exist under fascist rule. Identify as you're told, or face the consequences.

Today it's gender. I wonder what facet of identity they'll seek to control tomorrow. Sexual orientation? Religion? Political affiliation?

And notice how they gave NO GRACE PERIOD for them whatsoever to cause as much pain and suffering. You can't drive, you can't buy alcohol, tobacco, etc. This goes to show what happens when hateful racists run the entire government and need a minority group to attack and blame everything on.

Remember to vote people, this is why voting is so important.

What the fuck do the genitals I had at birth have to do with my ability to drive a car?

we apologize the inconvenience this causes you

Whenever you see this line, anywhere, you know that they're saying "fuck you and what are you going to do about it, eh?"

I mean, we're 5 steps away from eugenics, and we'we sowwy for the inconvenience!

ACLU in Kansas is representing two plaintiffs suing the state over this.

Sounds like voter suppression to me as they push the SAVE act.

Fuck Kansas

"We apologize for the inconvenience this causes you."

How nice.

"We apologize for the fact that you live under a state legislature that doesn't respect your humanity."

I wonder how many billions the USA has been wasted on crap legislation just like this.

I would think it would be worse for the license holder AND whatever law agency to be listed as "M" when they look "F", and tie up a lot of resources over nothing but another power trip.

So now you must hire a "medical professional" to exam and of course they will be paid by the state.

Then they'll need to make a new law enforcement division with a clever acronym, like T.E.D.

Then scanners at bathrooms with attending physician on call

Minimum wage is seven dollars an hour. Union membership is now mostly government employees and down to 10%.

STOCK MARKET 50K THOUGH

So.. Cycling is the best trans inclusive transportation method?

Why would America allow an openly transphobic government into power like this?

Oh right...

This is so fucked up on so many levels. Next step will be trying to erase trans people from being able to go outside or have a job. I’m surprised Kansas lawmakers just didn’t go ahead and make all trans people sew a pink triangle to everything they wear.

I'm not trans and keen to understand how this impacts a trans person.

My. Immediate thought was it's intentionally leaving out the part that says you'll be issued with a replacement so won't stop you from driving so no biggie right?

However, that's diminishing the cruelty of it - it's about the emotional trauma from a government forcing you to officially identify as something you've fought your whole life not to be.

why do we even need sex or gender marked on driver's licences?

First they came for...

Actually evil.

This exists for no reason other than to intentionally harm a small and already marginalized group.

It's a shame that fighting groups like the heritage foundation needed to take a couple decade backseat for insane cultural warring based entirely on misrepresenting each other and refusing to communicate.

And trying to point out that fact got you labeled as "enemy group" by everyone involved, and most people aren't involved enough to tell the difference between things like faux opposition within the establishment, and legitimate progressive groups with separate but legitimate grievances.

Get the peasants fighting the peasants, because if you pump enough noise into the environment, people just stop trying to comprehend outside of their bubble.

These monsters will destroy the world in order to apply their fickle bigotry.

Fuck the heritage foundation, bohemian grove, atlas network, and their myriad of other shapes used to obfuscate while affecting control. The rich have class solidarity, and they've done an amazing job getting everyone else to fight themselves.

Trans rights are human rights.

Is there any kind of charitable support fund to assist trans folk that want to get out of shit holes like Kansas? I guess it might be subject to abuse by the large number of cis folks that want to get out of Kansas too, but still.

Scum state with an even worse government.

How long until they do this with passports?
