#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.

@alice @tankgrrl is the trick to defeating this shit forcing everyone to prove their sex-at-birth in order to use the restroom?
Show thread๐Ÿ…ฐ๐Ÿ…ป๐Ÿ…ธ๐Ÿ…ฒ๐Ÿ…ด (๐ŸŒˆ๐Ÿฆ„)

@betamatt I think the trick to defeating this is to confront every male Republican politician (and voter) for using the "wrong" restroom unless they prove they have the requisite penis privilege. If they won't, cite this law and call the police.

@emily_rugburn @alice @betamatt @tankgrrl Hey! I have it on good (Youtube amateur historian) authority that the Romans, at least, had actual latrines, with outhouse-style holes and the very best butt-wiping sea sponges-onna-stick!

@sleet01 @alice @betamatt @tankgrrl we should do that. it wwould clear up a lot of things around here.

@sleet01 @alice The butt-wiping sponges might be misinterpretation. Gilbert Wiplinger's research suggests the xylospongium might have just been a toilet brush and that sounds a lot more plausible.

They probably wiped with moss or pieces of cloth like many other pre-modern civilizations.
