Comment on Trans people in Kansas are being ordered to surrender their drivers licenses
JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 3 days agoI’m glad she tried to veto this. I apologize for the crass angle, but I’m pretty sure that if some Kansas yokel saw her coming out of a women’s room (and didn’t recognize her as the governor), they’d be harassing her and trying to get the payout.
That’s the other side of this problem, is that not only transgender people will be impacted, but also cisgender women who have masculine features.
Its whole intent is to harass pretty much any woman, regardless of their birth sex, unless they meet the same Barbie image that every Republican seems to think is the only way a “real” woman should look.
The point I was trying to make (while under the belief that she supported it) was that cis women who look like her would also be impacted.

I appreciate your apology, and agree that these kinds of policies hurt women who don’t measure up to patriarchal ideas of how a woman should look. Regardless of sex assigned at birth.
But she’s a good one and has been vetoing things like this. Unfortunately, the Kansas GOP has enough votes that they can override her.
