Driver's License
300 SW 29th Street PO Box 2188 Topeka KS 66601-2188
Mark A. Burghart, Secretary
February 23, 2026
Dear Kansas Credential Holder:
House Substitute for Senate Bill 244, enacted by the Kansas Legislature overriding Governor Kelly's veto, requires Kansas-issued driver's licenses and identification cards to reflect the credential holder's sex at birth and directs the Division of Vehicles to comply with K.S.A. 77-207.
What does this mean for you?
If you have received this notice, our records indicate that, upon publication of this law in the Kansas Register on Thursday, February 26, 2026, your current Kansas credential will no longer be valid. Additionally, please note that the Legislature did not include a grace period for updating credentials. This means that once the law is officially enacted, your current credential will be invalid immediately, and you may be subject to additional penalties if you are operating a vehicle without a valid credential.
What do you need to do?
Pursuant to this new law, if the gender/sex indication on the face of your current credential does not match your sex assigned at birth, you are directed to surrender your current credential to the Kansas Division of Vehicles. Upon surrendering the credential, you will be issued a new credential reflecting the gender identification consistent with statutory requirements. If you have any questions regarding procedures for obtaining a legally compliant credential, please contact the Kansas Division of Vehicles or visit your local driver licensing office.
Can you appeal this notice?
Yes. If you believe you have received this notice in error, you may appeal. Appeal rights are available under K.S.A. 8-259. However, please be advised that the filing of an appeal will not preserve the validity of your current credential and associated driving auβ¦
2. The letter, which has been reported to Erin In The Morning by a Kansas-based activist, states that under House Substitute for Senate Bill 244, Kansas trans people must immediately surrender their licenses.

It is very hard not to have a safe choice to use the bathroom in public.
It may be impossible to continue living, working, eating, etc without a valid driver's license if your life was built around driving and the assumption that your license wouldn't be invalidated overnight by the legislature.

I have literally no patience for anyone saying that trans Kansans "just" have to go to the DMV and get a new license. There was no time given for that. There was no process in place for that. There were letters sent out to some people whose licenses were invalidated, but not all.

I know itβs difficult right now, but I insist that you seek and enjoy beautiful things, even if it seems frivolous or irresponsible in the face of overwhelming horror. I want you to feed yourself artistically, spiritually, and literally, because you canβt Do The Work when youβre starving.

"tapering plans" for HRT is a death sentence if you've had gender-affirming surgeries, like I have with my orchi, because your body will just wither away and die without hormones. Unspeakable evil. Demonic shit. You don't hate these motherfuckers enough.

This is it. We'll get through by fighting for the vision of a better way to be, just like so many have done before us.
We are not alone in this fight. It's not that it will be easy, but hope will fuel us and keep us going.

the primary reason rightwingers will never control culture is because everything they do is hinged upon it being a reaction to the broader culture. the TPUSA half time event would not exist without it being a representation of their grievences

illustration of a bedroom scene in cool tones. Dracula's three brides and Jonathan Harker are engaged in coitus on an ornately decorated bed. A wavy black line censors part of the image.
"an agony of delightful anticipation..."
I wanted to reimagine the brides of Dracula scene for the "Ritual" theme of this week's @hardcoverart.com #Hardtober2025

once the transphobes did their whole "at least the Taliban know what a woman is" thing i knew there was no depth of immorality they could sink to that would discredit them in the eyes of the equally corrupt journalists

Furthermore these figures are underestimates. If Alice had died at her first OD her death wouldnβt have been recorded as a trans death. How many other child suicides are deaths of trans people whoβve not yet come out to hostile family or came out and were abused, with their identity denied in death?

Wes Streeting and Louis Appleby should go to prison over this. It's a massive scandal and they covered it up. They knew what they were doing restricting access to care and they did it anyways because of politics.

Context: this speech is from SIR THOMAS MORE, a history written, as near as scholars can tell, in the early 1600s by 6 or 7 people including Dekker, Heywood, Chettle, Shakespeare, and Munday.
It was never performed, because Jacobean England was a police state and it was banned by the censor.

The image shows digital art with Asian motifs.
In the center is a woman with short black hair and an expressive, almost cybernetic face. She is dressed in a dark blue traditional garment resembling a Chinese qipao, decorated with golden floral patterns. The figure is holding a tea set on a trayβa teapot and two cups, from which light steam is rising.
The background is rendered in rich, warm tones: a bright orange circle resembling the sun dominates, behind which silhouettes of bamboo and decorative geometric elements create an oriental atmosphere.
The overall style of the image is futuristic and graphic, with strong contrasts between cool blue and warm red-orange tones.
The tea ceremony is coming soon
