26.02.2026 18:35 β π 291 π 50 π¬ 4 π 1As of tonight, licenses of trans people across Kansas are being invalidated en masse, enabling the overnight criminalization of an entire group of people for going about our lives. Itβs often said you never know when youβre living through history, so let me assure you: thatβs whatβs happening now.

Under the heading "News about Kansas," there is a list of four news articles: βAn article from the Kansas City Star, published 13 hours ago, with the headline "Kansas informs trans residents their driverβs licenses become invalid on Thursday". The thumbnail shows a sample Kansas driver's license. βAn article from The Independent, published 7 hours ago, with the headline "Kansas sends letters to trans drivers demanding the immediate surrender of their licenses over birthright law". The thumbnail shows small pride flags on desks inside a legislative chamber. βAn article from The Topeka Capital-Journal, published 7 hours ago, with the headline "Kansas invalidates IDs and birth certificates of transgender people". The thumbnail features a close-up of colorful pride flag stickers. βAn article from Erin In The Morning, published 16 hours ago, with the headline "Kansas Sends Letters To Trans People Demanding The Immediate Surrender Of Drivers Licenses". The thumbnail is a nighttime photo of a state capitol building illuminated in pink and red lights.
A day later and no major national news org has covered what they're doing in Kansas.
This is the flip side of the hyper focus on trans issues by the right. The national media ignores what's actually being done to trans people.
This erasure is what contributes to the persecution.
transphobia is a gateway to so many abhorrent beliefs
if you aren't racist or antisemitic or classists or any other number of fucked up things, if you start becoming transphobic you'll become all of them
i've never met someone who is Just Transphobic
i do not trust anyone who doesn't affirm trans rights unprompted

It's been a rough decade.
it's 2016: north carolina introduces a bill to ban trans people from using bathrooms safely. there's a national outcry; companies withdraw business up to and including the NCAA cancelling a publicized game. the bill fails.
it's 2026: kansas passes a law nullifying trans people's licenses. crickets.
If youβre not standing up for trans people right now, what are you doing?

Even moving to a safer state and city, I still fear what could happen.
The shit going on in this country right now is maddening.
I hate to sound like a broken record, but the tools to correct literally all of this nonsense are sitting in the toolbox just the distance of a couple of spines to uphold a sworn oath away.

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.
