This is so fucked up on so many levels. Next step will be trying to erase trans people from being able to go outside or have a job. I’m surprised Kansas lawmakers just didn’t go ahead and make all trans people sew a pink triangle to everything they wear.
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.
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.
This is now a frightening reality for any trans person in Kentucky.
Oh, yeah that’s a problem. I didn’t even consider using driver licenses as an ID, I’m used to having a national ID and forgot people use their driver’s license as an ID in the US.
I don’t even have a driver’s license because I never needed a car, public transport was great in all the cities in Europe where I lived.I’m probably very divorced from the US realities.

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

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

Next step is killing them.
