Kansas invalidated a trans woman's license even though she never changed her gender marker.
It's not about the gender marker. It's about targeting trans people and making their lives unlivable.
If you have the means, please donate to the Trans Continental Pipeline right now. They are a Colorado based org that helps trans people relocate and they are overwhelmed with requests. Colorado borders Kansas, and TCP has the infrastructure to help get people out.

To understand what's happening right now in Fort Worth, you have to know that the anti-ICE protest in July that led to this criminal case involves several transgender people who are part of an armed leftist self-defense group.
Their unconventional tactics/thinking are the undercurrent of this trial
They're circling the jail now, hoping their friends inside can hear them.
this is not a regime who seems terribly concerned with subterfuge, content to enact whatever plans they want in the open with no threat of consequence. They don't need to distract, it's just that there are so many targets.
tar is the movie of the decade
Keep fucking going.
only way to describe what this is as intentional and targeted evil. they want to make it impossible for trans people to live. this is genocidal

Apologize all you like, admit you fucked up, that's great. By all means learn and grow and do better.
But we are past that point. The mass efforts to render trans people's existence illegal are here and what matters right now is actual tangible support. Without that a sorry isn't worth much.
Put up or shut the hell up, now's the time.

Do you ever think about how the most putrid, bitchless, dog-brained Just Asking Questions panty-sniffers were allowed to push us to this point by a liberal establishment which actively cosseted and legitimized them at every turn?
Me neither.
There is only so much resolute toughness in the face of adversity that works when the opposing team is playing by Airbud rules with the law, and the penalty for losing to them is now not just job losses and homelessness but potentially prison time without hormones
im going to be honest kitten the fascist administrative state is kind of hyperfocused on mommy right now and it's stressing her out a little bit
Abolish the legal gender marker entirely. No government can be trusted to have a database of which people have changed theirs, no government has any business tracking what your gender is "supposed" to be in the first place.
stop calling us nazis just because we are invalidating IDs and rounding people up based on their skin color and putting them in concentration camps and sending them off to foreign gulags and using all that nazi imagery and banning books and dont forget about all the pedophilia. so just stop alright
If you're a trans person in Kansas who had your drivers license invalidated, you can absolutely trust @marisakabas.bsky.social to handle your story with care. I vouch for her 100%.
I want to clarify this because people have asked: organizations in general giving money to trans people for hormones and ID changes and moving fees, good. Organizations giving money to legal teams for the newest lawsuit to try and slow this down, maybe not the priority right now
I just worry my mutuals don't think enough about Marisa Tomei
Is the president mocking the U.S. womenβs hockey team on a celebratory call with the menβs team going to attract even an iota of the sustained handwringing that the idea of trans athletes disadvantaging womenβs sports has gotten
stop giving HRC money and just help a trans person flee this. If I still lived in (much cheaper) Idaho (or Texas or Ohio) Iβd be close to dead, if not already fucking dead
we should consider reorienting the Nonprofit Industrial Complex (the one that currently pays cis people to release infographics about how trans-friendly their donors are) to instead pay out to resettle trans refugees in the ever-dwindling number of friendly states that arenβt trying to kill them
I want to live in a world where platforming these fascist propagandists and pushing back against anti-colonialism could result in executives of media companies getting jail time. This is like having Goebbels come onto your program to tell you how Auschwitz is actually affordable housing.
a trans woman i know is being deported back to the USA due to the Home Office messing up paperwork.
her wife is desperately trying to raise the funds to prevent this. they have 48 hours before sheβs put on a plane and might never be able to return.
please, help if you can. theyβre both terrified.
yes, the wheels of justice are slow. agonizingly, excruciatingly slow. and oftentimes they miss or go off the tracks entirely. in fact most of the time. but occasionally, very infrequently, that big wheel of justice delivers theoretical remuneration for a handful of vested business interests
