KANSAS IS DEMANDING TRANS PEOPLE SURRENDER THEIR DRIVER’S LICENSES.

Under a new Kansas law transgender Kansans who previously updated the gender marker on their driver’s licenses legally are now receiving letters from the state demanding they surrender their IDs.

This law doesn’t just block future updates.

It retroactively revokes state-issued identification that trans people obtained legally.

That means people who followed the law, completed the paperwork, and were legally issued updated IDs are now being told the state is taking them back.

And that’s not all.

The law also opens the door for private citizens to sue transgender people for using bathrooms that align with their gender identity — exposing them to potentially devastating financial penalties simply for existing in public space.

Let’s be clear about what all of this means:

Without accurate identification, people can struggle to:
• Drive legally
• Travel
• Apply for jobs
• Rent housing
• Access banking
• Vote

This isn’t about paperwork.

It’s about making it nearly impossible for trans people to live as their authentic selves - it's about making trans people live in the closet - it's about erasing trans people.

The ACLU has filed a lawsuit challenging this law, arguing it violates constitutional protections and strips Kansans of basic rights and dignity.

We are grateful for that legal fight.

And we stand firmly in solidarity with trans Kansans and send this message:

You belong in public spaces.
You belong at work.
You belong in school.
You belong on the road.
You belong in this country.

We stand in solidarity with you.

Say it louder for those in the back!

We spend so much time trying to shape children into what adults expect…
quiet, compliant, convenient.

But the real work — the work that actually changes lives — is reshaping ourselves.

Learning how a child’s brain develops.
Understanding their nervous system.
Responding to their emotions instead of reacting to their behaviour.
Becoming the steady presence they’re wired to rely on.

Children aren’t here to rise to our expectations; they’re here to grow at their own pace, in an environment that sees their needs as legitimate, not inconvenient.

So the question isn’t,
“How do we make them fit?”
It’s,
“How do we evolve so they don’t have to shrink?”

Because when adults grow up…
children finally get to, too. ❤️

This is so important!

Fall fun is in full swing—from pumpkin patches to festivals to Halloween events!

While you’re planning costumes and candy, don’t forget to talk to your child about body boundaries.

Remind them that even in costume, their body is their own. If someone makes them feel unsafe or uncomfortable, they can use their strong “I Mean Business” voice to say STOP and go to a trusted adult for help.
