I am going to link to organizations that I know for sure are helping trans Kansans. This thread will develop slowly as I either know people or will vet them.

At this point we have not heard from anyone being helped via relocation resources. These exist, but I assume they are overwhelmed.

remember how we used to be fed the rethoric of "oh it's totally helping doctors find cancer in pictures and someshit" but like. no actual success stories, nobody to my knowledge came out saying "a/i saved my life" because damn if you know what to look for in data you can make actual software for it

I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to

Deep sea ecologist here. He's not wrong.

I will never get used to the disdain our country holds for brown and Black children.

From Palestine to Iran to Sudan, we normalize the destruction of schools and hospitals and daycares. We reduce children to death tolls and their futures to rubble with no consequence or second thought.

This War Will Destabilize The Entire Mideast Region And Set Off A Global Shockwave Of Anti-Americanism vs. No It Won’t

I can't fucking believe we're doing this again.

This is next to a simple drawing of a woman with her hair slicked back into pigtails, wearing large glasses, with hwr arms crossed. At the very bottom in small print is the signature Steve Hyde.]

A screenshot of a mobile Google search results page in dark mode for the query "Kansas trans". Under the heading "News about Kansas," there is a list of four news articles: ​An article from the Kansas City Star, published 13 hours ago, with the headline "Kansas informs trans residents their driver’s licenses become invalid on Thursday". The thumbnail shows a sample Kansas driver's license. ​An 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. ​An 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. ​An 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.

Le changement d’état civil attaqué de toutes parts ! Le changement de la mention sexe au tribunal devient payant à partir du 1er mars 2026. Le budget 2026 introduit une contribution de 50€ pour saisir un tribunal judiciaire, y compris pour les changements d’état civil. LR et la Macronie veulent imposer la présentation du casier judiciaire pour changer de prénoms. La proposition de loi du député Charles Rodwell a été adoptée en commission des lois et compliquerait également le changement de prénoms des personnes étrangères.

Après son adoption début février grâce au recours au 49.3 par le gouvernement de Sébastien Lecornu, le budget 2026 a été officiellement promulgué ce 19 février. Le budget intègre de multiples baisses d’aides et met en péril l’accès à de nombreux droits. Il supprime à partir du 1er juillet les APL pour les étudiant·es étranger·ères non-européen·nes, augmente de 50% le prix des cartes de séjour et de résidence, et réduit la participation de la France dans les fonds de santé mondiaux, comme le Fonds mondial de lutte contre le SIDA, la tuberculose et le paludisme.

Le changement d'état civil attaqué de toutes parts !

À partir du 1er mars 2026, la procédure au tribunal devient payante + une nouvelle proposition de loi veut compliquer le changements de prénoms en mairie.

Plus que jamais, nous devons réclamer le changement d'état civil *libre et gratuit* ! 🧵

Boomers will post "in the summer we used to make sprinklers by turning on the hose & letting it dance" & then once a black dude in the city does the same thing, they start liking posts about HOSE RUNNING AMOK, LAWLESS RAPSCALLION PRACTICALLY FLOODS BROOKLYN (& DOESNT CARE)

the horrible humor of conservatism; in the court of public opinion, its guy throwing snowballs at a snowball fight vs the NYPD & now one of the largest militaries in the world has to start a facebook-wide smear campaign against some guy to save face & not look like fun-hating cranks

What Bogi is describing happened to us - we reached out to an org to try to understand our options wrt our complex situation, and never heard back.

Last year I also reached out to our local ACLU multiple times and heard nothing back.

Every org is overloaded.

Kansas Sends Letters To Trans People Demanding The Immediate Surrender Of Drivers Licenses "The legislature did not include a grace period."

It seems all Kansas-issued trans drivers' licenses are invalid, effective tomorrow

It is now illegal for trans people to drive a car until they surrender their license at a DMV (that most will need to drive to) and have it reissued with the wrong gender marker

This was never about woman's sports
