      Can you do postal votes without id? There’s so few trans people it’d make functionally no difference, but i guess many would vote and none would vote republican

    Crazy thing is Kansas has a Dem governor. She vetoed this and they overrode it. Really bound and determined to be transphobic fucks

      My understanding is the Brownback tax cuts and education cuts were rolled back a while ago and those were what caused a lot of those problems. The current problem is the people who helped implement those cuts in the first place are now in charge of congress with enough of a majority to override a veto (which is what happened with this bill). Unless there’s a really big push to get rid of that super majority and the governor doesn’t also end up being someone who will pass this stuff, probably not much hope no.

      Edit: changed mayor to governor

    doomer I predict blowback. You can’t back people into a corner like this. There’s nowhere out for a trans woman. is she supposed to go do time in a men’s prison? Surely one might as well shoot it out even over a minor infraction at that point.

      While Adventurist terrorism is bad, no one should do it… I do wonder how long until life gets so unlivable for a minority like teams folks, that you start getting instances of Stochastic terrorism.

      It’s not like trans folks are concentrated enough right now for coherent resistance movements, re: Stonewall are feasible. Though things are getting bad enough for queer folks in red states, that a lot of them are fleeing to bluer States, so maybe that concentration is already happening.

      Tl;dr - Gay Liberation Front 2, anyone?
