Because of the National driver register, since their licenses are suspended, trans folks cannot move to another state and get a new license until they remove the suspension on their existing Kansas license.

They can't even escape this by moving to another state.

Reviewing is a skill! However…There’s a difference between critique and using critique as an excuse for excessive cruelty. And I get it. We can say whatever the f*ck we want, that’s our right. but words have consequences. The things we say online have real world consequences.

Please feel free to share this with colleagues who might be interested. I’d love to do it as a roundtable but it’s possible the organizers prefer individual paper proposals so I’ll get that sorted ASAP. I’ve only presented virtually at AnnRadCon & missed it last year.
