She’d Never Changed Her Gender Marker. Kansas Invalidated Her License Anyway. — Assigned A trans Kansas resident recently changed her name but not her gender marker on her license, fearing what Kansas may do if she did. The Kansas DMV still flagged her ID.

This story, from @natezuke.bsky.social, is absolutely wild. A trans woman who never changed her gender marker was issued a letter invalidating her license. At the DMV they cut up her license, which had an "M" marker.

Too often when discussing trans rights, we’re forced to be on the defensive, as Republicans wage attacks.

Today, we take the opportunity to look forward by introducing my Trans Bill of Rights, a comprehensive vision to provide protections for all trans and nonbinary people.

Papers, Please? The Republican Plan to Wall Off the Internet | TechPolicy.Press We desperately need lawmakers to see ID check bills for what they really are: a right-wing information power grab, writes Anna Bonesteel.

A hand-drawn illustration by Alfred depicting a row of large, upright domino-like blocks labeled with different human rights: 'Trans Rights,' 'Gay Rights,' 'Women's Rights,' 'Free Speech,' 'Freedom of Religion,' and more. People are seen holding up the first block to prevent it from falling, symbolizing how human rights are interconnected. At the bottom, the text reads: 'United We Stand – Divided We Fall

Had a meeting this week where we talked about what to do if ICE shows up on campus. They asked us to watch the videos on www.wehaverights.us from @aclu.org as well. Bite-sized videos that are easy to remember. Even if you don't personally have to worry, we've all got people in our lives who do!
