  Next step will be trying to erase trans people from being able to go outside or have a job

  Kansas, like most all of the USA is very car dependent so losing a drivers license could result in not being able to have a job

  As terrible as it is, then notice does say that you will be given a replacement license when you hand in the current one. So it’s not like they won’t be able to drive.

    My girlfriend is trans. She doesn’t look ANYTHING like a man. In a few months she won’t even have a penis. But if she had to go through this and have her license say M on it, anyone reading it will be extremely confused.

        Because if she lived in Kansas, in a few months she won’t have any external male parts whatsoever, and if she had to put an M on her license it wouldn’t even make sense.

        I was providing an example of just how utterly stupid this law is.

      Definitely, all I’m saying is that she will still have a license and still will be able to drive.

        Except now her license would have an M on it, even thought she looks completely like a woman. Driving isn’t the issue here. Anywhere that checks ID like bars, liquor stores, anywhere would now see her license, see an M, look at her, and think it’s either fake, or outing her publicly as trans.
