Pretty sure insecure racists are quite willing to marry a person who, no matter how accomplished that person is, they believe they are superior to.

This is eugenics. Genocide. An attack on science, medical ethics, bodily autonomy, and human rights.

Where is the outcry from the biomedical community? Trans people aren't just abstract patients and research participants: We're your friends, family, and co-workers.

Speak up before it's too late

Being a pregnant woman in the US is more dangerous than being a police officer.

Deaths per 100,000:

Police officers: 11.3
Pregnant women: 18.7

It is almost twice as dangerous to bear a child as it is to be a cop.

As the OP says below—this is about more than driving a car.

Voting.
Traveling.
Getting prescriptions filled.

All those MANY times in everyday life when you have to show your license?

You no longer have one.

Unless you erase yourself.

Unfortunately the reality is that cops have a history of killing people by dropping them off in inhospitable places. In Canada it’s called a “starlight tour” when cops detain an Indigenous person and then drop them off miles from home in the wilderness, sometimes causing them to freeze to death

Because of the National driver register, since their licenses are suspended, trans folks cannot move to another state and get a new license until they remove the suspension on their existing Kansas license.

They can't even escape this by moving to another state.

So they’re going to cripple healthcare for the poor in Minnesota to make an example of the state. The warning is “don’t resist.”
