But for the duration of the appeal you won’t have a valid drivers license, as it says in the letter, credentials are invalidated immediately. This is the pressure game. You can appeal and walk everywhere with no valid ID, or you can drive and risk getting pulled over and arrested for having an invalid ID and put into the wrong gender prison.

Just appeal and force them to prove you’re guilty of having the wrong gender on your id. It will be extremely difficult for them to do especially given the number of appeals that could happen almost at once.

Done properly, it could result in a judge issuing a stay on the order and preventing it from being enforced while the results are worked out in court. That’s not uncommon.

Prison for no ID, what is this MAGA America? (Like when people say: What is this Nazi Germany?)

Nice thought, but the law says “sex at birth”, they probably know it from social security records or whatever. And your “incorrect” license isn’t valid while waiting for appeals… and it’s not like they’d prioritize it anyways. Messed up situation.

Doesn’t matter they’d still have to prove it in court and that is going to eat huge parts of their budget and insane amounts of manpower diverted from actually running the state.

Except in the real world, you still lose your job after getting arrested and charged.
Madison420@lemmy.world 10 hours ago
You’d have to be arrested for that first. Are you in the habit of being arrested on a day to say basis?

Bold assumption.
I’d like for you to be right and I hope you are, but I don’t think you are.

Such review shall be in accordance with the Kansas judicial review act. In the case of review of an order of suspension under K.S.A. 8-1001 et seq., and amendments thereto, or of an order of disqualification under subsection (a)(1)(D) of K.S.A. 8-2,142, and amendments thereto, the petition for review shall be filed within 14 days after the effective date of the order and venue of the action for review is the county where the administrative proceeding was held or the county where the person was arrested. In all other cases, the time for filing the petition is as provided by K.S.A. 77-613, and amendments thereto, and venue is the county where the licensee resides. The action for review shall be by trial de novo to the court. The court shall take testimony, examine the facts of the case and determine whether the petitioner is entitled to driving privileges or whether the petitioner’s driving privileges are subject to suspension, cancellation or revocation under the provisions of this act.
It’s a trial, they don’t have a choice unless they change the way suspensions and disqualifications work and in the mean time there’s probably going to be a group of lawyers working to get an injunction for overbredth and likely for speedy trial because of the volume of appeals.
