Kansas goddamn.

I'm also very curious if any cis people got the letter by mistake. It seems likely.
Nearly all of the people who have been harassed in public over restrooms rules tend to be cis women who look a little butch or like a bowtie or something.
This isn't a flaw it's a feature. Because part of the purpose is to make a gender dress and behavior code for adults.
No men shall wear pink or nail polish. No women shall have whiskers on their chin or leave the house without a layer of foundation.

I expect they kept track of people who have asked to have it changed in the past. -
Don't get it twisted this attack on trans people in Kansas (how did they identify the people they sent those letters to? They have a list, the monsters.) is a trial, a test. Let them get away with it they will move on to the next smallest group they feel they could target without public backlash.
That is how this works.

There are people who are cis who have had the gender marker changed on their IDs to correct administrative errors.
They have gotten caught up in the current anti-trans moral panic too.

Sorry, are we in a cartoon? Is this world actually an early Nickelodeon toon and this whole timeline is a prelude to this fantastical premise?

Are you an "LGB" person ?
Are you enjoying an upstanding gay marriage with a white picket fence?
Are you a black American (oh wow) but not (oh no no) an immigrant ?Are you reading the room ?
We're next! We are next.
@futurebird … Yup, and following those groups (or interleaved) it will be Jews, Women (all Women: in this eschatology they're just livestock for breeding), non-Christian (the right kind of Christian) men, and political dissidents.
If they get their way, the USA after the Great Downsizing will have about a third of its current population, and the electorate will be less than 10% of that because the rest will be chattels of one type or another.

Speaking of electorate, cancelling people's driving licenses is an attack on that now, isn't it -

@Firlefanz @futurebird They're already doing it. Look at Reform UK policies if you want to see it happening in English. (I'm sure there are German examples too.)

@cstross @futurebird the question is will the utter fucking cis-white heterosexual idiots figure out that this is the plan.

@cstross @futurebird also, Black people in the US will not accept this white christian ethnostate nonsense.

Most definitely, the AfD is just biding its time until our conservative party drops into their laps. Our current chancellor is a weak fool with more ego than sense.

When all of the women are either struggling housekeepers or obedient wives. When all of the men are either too poor and overworked to think about anything political or safe in their all white christian men's only board rooms new targets will still be needed.
Do you not like going to church? Do you want to listen to the wrong music? Think a tattoo is nice? Do you like foreign cartoons from Japan?
The only person who might be safe is Ted Cruz. Maybe.

@futurebird @emma I think it can get so much worse than that: so much worse that I've fled screaming from writing dystopian political satire back to the consolatory certainties of space opera (dominated by degenerate, cruel, aristocrats with punchable faces—but the faces are at least punchable, unlike an LLM directed by Palantir).

@futurebird @emma @cstross they might off him when they remember his name is Rafael. At some point, his utter debasement might not be enough to cover for not having a white-enough name. Also, nobody likes the little shit.

@futurebird @emma @cstross also, in a pugilistic culture, the guy who flip-flops (he was Never Trump for about 30 seconds) and won’t stand up for his own (wife and kids called ugly, crickets from this dude) isn’t going to fair well, long term.

The GOVERNMENT will tell you (yes you) how to be your gender correctly.
That's all this is. It's bullshit.
Absolutely this, it is all about mandating how everyone will perform their gender, and enforcing conformity.
This is a feature, not a flaw.

@futurebird @emma @cstross Cruz might even be getting a supreme court seat according to the article I read yesterday. You can't make it up!
