#Trans folx in #Kansas given 1 day to surrender their (now invalid) IDs and driver's licenses to the state.

@alice

Really flagrantly disgusting.

[b_bird@mastodon.social]

@alice WHAT THE FUCK !!!
How can this happen ???

[alice@lgbtqia.space]

@munin and you *know* once they're making solid progress wiping out trans folx and immigrants, they'll start into Black folx, women, and the rest of the queers.

@alice
That's barbaric.
From here, in Europe, I'm watching in horror.
(The forces ruining US society are spending crazy money to spread the madness to this side of the pond.
And my son is trans.)

[munin@infosec.exchange]

@alice

I'm sure they'll start in immediately. Every time they have 'success' they push further the sleazy fucks.

@alice
Thx.
But you're the one needing a hug, methinks - you're a lot closer to the fire.

@alice Why is it that conservative forces are always so fixated on other people's genitals?

(Interestingly in more than one way)

[calcius@hol.ogra.ph]

@Fettlaus@social.tchncs.de @alice@lgbtqia.space
the genitals are a pretext - it's about a marginalised group that they think can't defend itself or have others step in to defend them.

[fruan@kind.social]

@alice Honestly somewhat surprised the bill doesn't mandate wearing a marker on an armband when out in public. I guess that's still just a little too on the nose for them.

[energisch_@troet.cafe]

@alice such a mean thing to do! It is against anything a decent human society would do. No ethics any longer. No shame?! What about human rights, have they been abolished, too, completely?

[christianriegel@digitalcourage.social]

@Fettlaus @alice

They want "woman" to be clearly defined in order to suppress women.

In their eyes, everything "queer" threatens this "order of things".

@B_Bird @alice

The market grows faster with fascists regimes, so the market finances and promotes fascists regimes, which in turn promote the toxic masculinity mindset which works because generations failed to teach their sons some decent humanity.
On top it was always more fun to finance militarism instead of education.

[helenpugh@mastodon.online]

@alice disgraceful law!

[goodlucksil@social.tchncs.de]

@alice such a stupid thing to fixate into. What have trans people done to them? What economical benefit is in for... Anyone?

There are a million things that would be much much more useful economically than alienating a part of the population from using your services.

If USA wants to be a capitalist oligarchy, USA should correctly corrupt itself.

Dorothy flees back to Oz

[mrgm@mastodon.social]

@alice Sadly, yes. All of the "WE DON'T WANT THIS" from the constituents falls on deaf ears for the corrupt legislature. I'm hoping things get less awful here after mid-terms, but there's a LOT of damage the jackasses have caused in the last several years that needs to be undone. In the meantime, I'd recommend anyone thinking of moving to Kansas to stay away. The land is beautiful and the people are friendly, but the laws here are fucked.

[jsteven@wandering.shop]

@alice
Just fuck these people.
(I know, nobody actually wants to.)

[cojajo@mastodon.social]

@alice
Same shit, different country!

[ticho@mas.to]

@Goodlucksil @alice Every fascist regime needs an "out group", a group of people to rally against, to present as enemies to keep their support base occupied.
