Trans people in Kansas began to receive letters yesterday stating that, due to the passage of SB 244, their drivers licenses are void beginning today, and that if they drive on them they risk arrest for a Class C misdemeanor, punishable by up to a $1000 fine or six months in jail. Trans Kansans will have to get to the DMV and pay for their own new identification, which will misgender them. No warning, no grace period -- just that if you DWT (drive while trans) with a gender marker which matches your gender identity, you risk arrest.

We tried to warn the Kansas legislature that this bill was cruel and would have unintended consequences, but we're not sure these consequences are in fact unintended, as it seemed clear that the entire goal of the supermajority that overrode the governor's veto was to make trans people as miserable as possible...

To our trans siblings we say: You are beloved of God, you always have a place with us, and we will do what we can to protect and support you, as we have always tried to.

To KIFA supporters we say: Please join us at KIFA Advocacy Day on Tuesday, March 10, to bring a clear and strong moral voice to our legislators to say: this is cruelty by the strong against the weak, and it will not stand.

And to the far-right legislators who implemented this base and depraved policy we say, as we did on the day the governor’s veto was overridden: Shame on you. You have hurt vulnerable Kansans (again), embarrassed the state nationally (again), and shown yourselves to be bigoted and cruel (again). This vote will remain a stain on your records, and on your souls, forever.

Yes! Remember, question whether made up rules work for you and your relationship.

Is it a red flag if a couple has separate beds? What about separate bank accounts? Therapist Stephanie R. Yates-Anyabwile says ignoring relationship norms can actually make a partnership stronger.
