#Trans folx in #Kansas given 1 day to surrender their (now invalid) IDs and driver's licenses to the state. As of tomorrow (Thursday), driving while trans is a class-B misdemeanor ($1000 fine and up to 6 months in jail).

The zero-grace-period execution means driving to turn in your license is a crime.

Oh yeah, this bill also enacted a bathroom bounty program allowing private individuals to sue trans folx for using the restroom.

Kansas Sends Letters To Trans People Demanding The Immediate Surrender Of Drivers Licenses

"The legislature did not include a grace period."

@alice It would be interesting to see if trans people would sue Kansas for not letting them be people, or some such thing. It would be nice to have SCOTUS reverse the decision, and then fine the hell out of the Kansas government.
@weirdone It's very hard to sue govt for anything, ever, and this is an issue very much in legal play in the US right now. Also, our high court is dominated by conservative justices who mostly agree with whatever the regime wants, and the regime hates trans people. So I would bet against that.
@wesdym Yeah. That's what Kansas *hopes* they do. With enough people joining a class-action lawsuit, the court would have to at least hear them out.
