Kansas Legislature Passes Trans Bathroom Bounty, Drivers License Revocations β€œThey're using very overtly anti-democratic measures to pass all this stuff because they know that it's unpopular.”

Kansas has passed a bill that would revoke trans people's drivers licenses, forcing them to surrender them for replacements.

It also creates trans bounty hunters that can sue trans people for money.

It goes to the gov, who will veto, but R's can override.

Odessa, Texas has voted to pass a transgender bathroom bounty law that applies to PRIVATE bathrooms.

This means even in queer spaces.

If a cisgender person encounters a transgender person, they can sue them for $10,000 or more.

This is the first law of its kind in the nation.
