Kansas Neo-Nazi (GOP) Party cancels identification cards and drivers' licenses of transgender people, taking away their right to drive a car and vote https://www.erininthemorning.com/p/kansas-sends-letters-to-trans-people Republicans hate humanity. |
| Like they couldn’t even give people time to go get new licenses. Just immediate cancellation. How are people supposed to fix this if it’s illegal for them to drive to the DMV? |
| Oh god- I hope the FBI. Is paying close attention. We all know what happens next. |
| Lash Patel’s FBI? |
Patel is preparing the train cars. |
| Kansas is a state that requires a license to vote, so these humans have now been stripped of that right. |
| Like a Republican in NY or CA, their votes don’t make much difference. |
If only. Don't forget that New York Republicans are responsible for the election of that of that idiot crook George Santos. And for the fool that commuted his sentence. |
| Keep in mind that driving is a privilege, not a right. The state can confiscate your license at any time. |
| How does this make sense? If you present as a female, but were born a male, and you get a new license that identifies you as a male, won’t that visual disconnect be confusing for anyone who has to check the ID? They might think it’s a fake. |
Not really. Strange thing about state granted privileges. Once you have them, they cannot be arbitrarily or capriciously revoked. There is a due process element at play. |
Maybe their votes don't make a much of a difference, but if the GOP is willing to strip the rights of one class of people, and others don't stand up to it, then it opens the door for the rights of others to be trampled. If you’re fine handing more power over to people who carried out genocides or who handed trans people and immigrants over to fascists, it’s time for a real reckoning with yourself and your supposed values. Who is next? Latinos? Blacks? Muslims? Women? Liberals? |
Tell that to the current two-term Democratic governor. |
No it won’t be confusing. 99.9 % of the time the birth sex is completely obvious to everyone. Sorry. |
| Driver’s licenses indicate one’s sex, not gender. If someone puts the gender they identify as on their DL, and it doesn’t correspond to their sex, that’s fraud. |
