"Why risk arrest? Why risk my name? Why devote my time and energy, to be here protesting this pipeline in the backwoods of Appalachia? The truth is I've lost the ability to look away. And it no longer makes sense to be anywhere else."
@ErinInTheMorn@ConcannonforKS Thank you for your support for us Kansan advocates! Gender affirming care for minors remains legal in Kansas! π₯Ήππ³οΈββ§οΈ I'm so moved by the Kansan pride here in the comments. Thank you for your hard work, everyone!
@Woodard4Kansas Thank you so much for this list! I'm going to reach out to people I know who live in their districts to let them know about the flip & ask them to talk with their reps!
@aclukansas Thank you for this explainer! β€οΈ Unfortunately, passports are much more expensive than other forms of ID or birth certificates. I am in the process of trying to find a nonprofit willing to umbrella a project to help trans Kansans pay for passports.
@aclukansas Should people still reach out to you at https://t.co/kE6yz7cWZl harm if they are turned away from getting an amended/replacement driver's license, or should they just report for birth certificates because there's already an ACLU case for driver's licenses?
@aclukansas Unfortunately, ccording to their policy, they will change the gender marker back on any replacement birth certificates, not just new amendments :( https://t.co/OriNUWrzBN My friend was denied an accurate copy for this reason.
@ResistanceTrans Thank you ππ³οΈββ§οΈ I know several people who have considered moving to Illinois since the announcements came out on Friday that KS is going to change back the gender markers on both birth certificates & state IDs. It's scary.
@AmericaBluebird@sportswithjohn Thank you for that explanation! I was wondering about that bit. They're really making asses of themselves more than if they had said nothing at this point.
@RepRyn @eve_jarvis1@ErinInTheMorn@AlliRaine22 You're right, I know someone from TN & it really sucks. But even if you can't get the birth certificate changed, you could get a passport with the updated gender marker, right? It's not legal for DMVs to refuse the passport as proof in lieu of bc, right?
@eve_jarvis1@ErinInTheMorn@AlliRaine22 This is what's confusing me- are they going to deny people updated markers on their licenses if they're presented with an updated birth certificate? Because the birth certificate is the ultimate "assigned at birth" document, right?
@ErinInTheMorn Would you be able to cover the news about a judge ordering Kansas to stop changing sex on IDs? It's scary and I want more people to know what we're going through. https://t.co/Heh2DhpOKf
@bfhermann@piper4missouri Maybe not. But sometimes circumstances change over the course of a pregnancy. Regardless, I don't think it's a good idea for our society to allow people to starve or face the threat of starvation.
@MaxErect420@ErinInTheMorn I feel like this would be really prone to error. Are you suggesting that they would go back and look at every person's driver's license photo and change the gender marker based on that? Surely they would mess up some cis people's licenses if they do that.
