Mississippi Becomes The Latest State To Pass Ban On Trans Drivers License Changes

The state joins at least 7 other states that have passed drivers license gender marker bans in recent years.

just juxtaposing the idea that caring about trans people’s safety & dignity isn’t “culturally normal” with: • 401,000 people fleeing homes • “if the gender/sex…on the face of your current credential does not match your sex assigned at birth, you are directed to surrender your current credential”

Dear Kansas Credential Holder:
House Substitute for Senate Bill 244, enacted by the Kansas Legislature overriding Governor Kelly's veto, requires Kansas-issued driver's licenses and identification cards to reflect the credential holder's sex at birth and directs the Division of Vehicles to comply with K.S.A. 77-207.
What does this mean for you?
If you have received this notice, our records indicate that, upon publication of this law in the Kansas Register on Thursday, February 26, 2026, your current Kansas credential will no longer be valid.
Additionally, please note that the Legislature did not include a grace period for updating credentials.
This means that once the law is officially enacted, your current credential will be invalid immediately, and you may be subject to additional penalties if you are operating a vehicle without a valid credential.
What do you need to do?
Pursuant to this new law, if the gender/sex indication on the face of your current credential does not match your sex assigned at birth, you are directed to surrender your current credential to the Kansas Division of Vehicles. Upon surrendering the credential, you will be issued a new credential reflecting the gender identification consistent with statutory requirements. If you have any questions regarding procedures for obtaining a legally compliant credential, please contact the Kansas Division of Vehicles or visit your local driver licensing office.
Can you appeal this notice?
Yes. If you believe you have received this notice in error, you may appeal. Appeal rights are available under K.S.A. 8-259. However, please be advised that the filing of an appeal will not preserve the validity of your current credential and associated driving authority.

401,000 people moving state to state in fear of having legal documents invalidated (KS), jail time for using restrooms (FL, UT), loss of access to adult care (dozens) or youth care (dozens even in D-led states), & the message from “opposition” is still largely “you’re making too big a deal of this.”

Trans Kansan's being stripped of their licenses due to having previously - legally - changed their gender marker is absolutely shocking. A person who misses the letter - let's they moved and forgot to have their mail forwarded - could drive to work and be arrested for driving without a license.

Establishment dems, like republicans, are among the most unrelatable and freakishly abnormal people on earth so its not surprising they would try using us as a distraction like the GOP has done for decades~"I may be a capitalist ghoul who you have nothing in common with but at least I look like you"

I’m sorry please correct me if I’m insane and wrong… but is this newsom saying he “fell prey” to not being “culturally normal” because he was supportive of same sex marriage?

So proud of this work with @rolanddunbrack.bsky.social! Did a lot of new structural bioinformatics of substrate-bound kinases and came up with updated criteria for classifying structures as active. Also made active models of all 437 human catalytic kinases, available here: dunbrack.fccc.edu/kincore

Great work from post-doctoral fellow @joanzone.bsky.social: New preprint on identifying active structures of protein kinases -- capable of binding ATP, Mg ions & especially substrates -- +modeling all 437 human catalytic protein kinase domains in their active conformation. doi.org/10.64898/202...

Shame on NYU Langone for ending gender-affirming care & kicking trans New Yorkers to the curb. It's a violation of their promise to treat all people equally, kindly, and respectfully — and a violation of NYC's human rights law as well. Bending the knee is bad; denying people care is even worse.

every leftist i know is very excited about technology but unfortunately they want tech that improves society and makes people's lives easier and that's harder for wealthy prdophiles to build a trillion dollar industry bubble around

cis men and women view each other as literal different species and can't even function in society with more than ONE gender so please spare me the "gender madness" speech
