“The legislature did not include a grace period.”
Also in Kansas News: Kansas gov. vetoes bill saying it’d ban people from visiting grandparents of opposite sex
Need a new trans mission to get on the road again in Kansas.
I’ll see myself out.
If I hadn’t already moved, this is another one of my “if this happens I’m grabbing my bug out bag day of and bussing to Canada” triggers
if i were living in kansas i’d tell them to fucking make me. i took the time to get the license, pay for it etc. i’m not surrendering a damn thing.
do not comply in advance.
I get what youre saying but, just like with license plates, your drivers license is technically state property. They just allow you to temporarily possess it. Point being that they can and will toss someone in jail for refusing to hand it over, which is surely worse than just handing it over. Fucked as the reasons may be that they want it back
It’s strange, one of the “leftists” from August 2024 around here who wouldn’t shut up about Kamala’s genocide and how voting Democratic is voting for fascism hasn’t been around for a long time. I said “I guess you hate women then” and they said “actually I identify as a woman lol”. Whenever I see these kinds of articles, which is way too frequently, I wonder what they were doing and/or thinking and the answer’s never good. I mean, “hopefully” they were just trolling and doing their little part to throw the election to trump?
Republicans are doing this at the state level, Harris said we should follow the law.
Time to blame leftists!
I almost always assume those people are trolls or political threat actors from adversarial countries. There are some very backwards people out there, but they don’t generally advertise so vehemently.
Is it FlyingSquid you are talking about? I was there for all of that too. I think they left for UK, and then the UK got worse, so I hope he and his family are safe and well, at least. :/
EDIT: Sorry, I see now where you said they identified as female and I don’t recall Squid saying that.
This feels like something out of Nazi Germany
It is. Jews had their drivers’ licences revoked and lost property rights to their cars on Dec 31th 1938.
That’s true! And the letter that Kansas sent out specifically states:
“Upon surrendering the credential, you will be issued a new credential reflecting the gender identification consistent with statutory requirements.”
So this time they still get to have their licenses. Its absolutely bullshit, and ridiculous, and abuse of power, and harassment, but just a baby step away from full on revoking of licenses.
Reprint of contemporary news article:
A police decree withdrawing all automobile drivers’ permits issued to German Jews was published yesterday. Signed by Heinrich Himmler, chief of all German police, the decree was intended as further punishment of the Jews, who already have been fined $400,000,000, for the murder by a Polish Jewish youth of Ernst vom Rath, third secretary of the German Embassy in Paris.

Thankth for tharing :p
My pleathure!
It’s hard, looking at the prologue of the darkest part of modern history replaying in realtime.
Unimaginable how it feels for those directly affected right now. And soon enough, nobody can watch from the sides.
are you there yet, America?
A lot of us are considering leaving. I’m too old and disabled to fight - unless bullets start flying… and even then, I’m not raising my teen sons to die for s country that no longer gives a flying fuck about anybody but white Christians. They aren’t even REAL Christians! A REAL Christian is LIBERAL by DEFAULT because Jesus was a liberal progressive… They’d know that, if they ever actually read the Bible. Evangelicals are NOT CHRISTIANS. Evangelicals convinced me that there is no god. If there was a god, he’d punish Evangelicals with fire because of their hate.
Best of luck my friend… I agree with you 100%.
If there is anything we can do from Canada to help, don’t be shy to ask
I’m not even trans, and I SO want the fuck out (just can’t afford it) - I can’t even imagine what those poor people go through.
100%… being hunted for sport is a really really shitty situation.
There are more of you than there are of them (Nazis), stay together, stay strong and FIGHT… you cannot just wait this one out
Don’t worry, they have a plan, which is proceeding nearly unimpeded. Every day brings new horrors, which is part of the plan. The damage this administration has caused this country, and the whole world really, will be felt for generations, which is also part of the plan.
ETA: I am lucky to live in a state that has an inclusive Sec. of State and AG. Who’s to say what things will look like after the midterms…so now I’m stocking up on as much HRT as my insurance will cover. I now have about 6 months supply, for when they take our healthcare away. It will happen. Thankfully I’m able to get a vial every 30 days. I’m sure it loses efficacy after sitting unused for an extended period of time, but unless it would be unsafe to use, I’ll have at least something. I’m sure it’s fine, but I’d really prefer to not have to go DIY.
Not enough people are willing to stand up with and for us, least of all those in power.
It won’t lose efficacy. Vials last for at least a year, and can last for (at least) up to three years. Inspect them for cloudiness, particles, and discoloration.
I also recommend you just buy homebrew vials online. Those vials contain way more doses than the ones you can get prescribed, and have other advantages too.
I’ll have to look into that, thanks!
I have lots of links here: https://lem.lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/19393848 This is currently the best place to find homebrew vials: https://diyhrt.market/
the midterms
determine whether I GTFO or stay and fight
Who’s to say what things will look like after the midterms…
You still think you’ll have fair and open elections?.. I would not be counting on that
The way things are currently trending, I hold no hope of the midterms bringing about meaningful change. The fascists still have plenty of time to prepare their offensive, and those who are supposed to represent us are unwilling to do what is necessary to stop this.
