Last year we highlighted the dangers of real name policies, especially for marginalized groups such as #transgender and gender diverse people. 📝
Kansas enacted a law that invalidates all #trans people’s licenses and IDs, forcing them to obtain a new one with incorrect gender markers. 🪪
⚠️ This is dangerous as having identification documents that don't match their appearance, puts trans people at risk of harassment and discrimination. ⚠️
