Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Friday, February 27, 2026

Under the law, roughly 1,800 transgender Kansans are required to surrender and replace their driver's licenses and birth certificates. In addition, anyone using the restroom in a government-owned building in Kansas must use the one that corresponds to their sex assigned at birth or risk legal penalties. This law took effect just eight days after Kansas' Republican supermajority overrode Gov. Laura Kelly's veto.

I think that if the state allowed you to change your gender on a birth certificate, then it should stay as is.

They maybe need to address the ability to change birth gender first.

Why? The body you get at birth belongs to you does it not? You can tattoo it you can pierce it with jewelry you can make your butt bigger or smaller make your boobs bigger or smaller it even add boobs and modify your genitalia and you can even add horns. So what? It's your body. Have at it.

I have never been negatively affected by this issue. Not even once.

Can you explain to the class exactly why this is a such problem for you personally?

Were you "tricked" in a bar once? Did it traumatize you? Or are you just being a "Karen" about it?

Boaz, let me ask you a serious question, about the limits of government.

Why should the State be deciding our gender in the first place?

That power is not granted to the State in our Constitution, is it?

At the moment yes I can still drive. I've never lost the ability to drive. Can I do so legally no barring some sort of reprieve not at present. I'm holding out hope that there will be an injuction to put a stop to this.

It doesnt.

Your gender is decided once you are born and you have either a vagina or penis. Pretty simple.

We can have a conversation about the 0.000000001% of us who have both, but other wise, You are what you are born as.

Are Blacks still 2/3 of a person for purposes of Representation?

It Miscegenation still Illegal?

Can Women,Trans or Otherwise Vote yet?

This is Prehistoric Thinking, like the "ideas" Above.

Take away one group's Freedoms to Exist without Censure, and Everyone's are in Grave Danger.

Civil Rights are NOT OPTIONAL.

They are Not PRIVILEGES.

People Died for these Freedoms.

Now they just want to give a Clown Slumlord the Power to Define American Freedoms All by HIMSELF.

WTF!

Kansas Republicans lost the battle over abortion rights.

So now they're attacking transgender rights.

Anything to keep Americans distracted by identity politics instead of class politics.

Don't pay attention to Trump and republicans looting the treasury, there's a transgender girl playing with those other girls, don't that make you furious!?

JFC fuck you boaz

this is the natural result of your beliefs, the unhumanizing of people like Laura

Now that your beliefs show an obvious negative impact on someone you know you suddenly, what? Have a twinge of guilt?

Fuck off with that shit

Your whole belief system is vile.

You don't care that trans people cannot receive the same fucking healthcare that a cis person is entitled to. that is too abstract a concept to you, but here we have someone you know likely losing their driving privilege all because of scum like you. Now you recognize the impact? And you utter a mild response: "I think that if the state allowed you to change your gender on a birth certificate, then it should stay as is.
They maybe need to address the ability to change birth gender first."

Seriously fuck you.

The simple truth is that gender is not sex.

Gender is a social construct.

People born with a penis can be a woman, because that is how they consider themselves

The fucking science is clear and well established. the fucking brain of a trans person is different from a cis person you fuck

it is that fucking simple

Gender is not sex

Gender is its own thing

Because some scared small-minded bigots cannot treat other people with the most basic of respect this is the result

it is vile and disgusting

Indeed, identity politics is the best camouflage for class warfare.

Somalis, LGBTQ, Muslims, Haitians, Blacks, Latinos, migrants, you name it.

Did you see how long it took for the FBI to catch the cyber-stalker who was preying on gay men in North Carolina?

Almost ten years.

About the other 0.000000001%. They get to decide, then?

Sounds like they enjoy rights the rest of us don't get.

And that's not right.

You, as slave material, should see the problem there.

The people who say sex is the same thing as gender?
The people who deny the scientific understanding that sex and gender are two different things?

They got that from Churches, from the TV, from Politicians.
They didn't acquire that belief through observation of facts and application of logic.
if they had used facts and logic, they'd agree with the scientists.
But they didn't. Thus, facts and logic won't change their minds.

"Gender is not sex
Gender is its own thing"

Some conservatives are probably intellectual capable of understanding that's true.

But they can't admit it, because it contradicts the #1 idea of their belief system, which is Males are made superior to Females by our Creator.

If a woman can choose to be a man, their dogma that males are superior because that's how G-d made them... kinda falls apart.

Boaz, do you believe males are created superior to females?

Opposition to this doctrine is perceived as an existential threat. That's an accurate perception.

It's akin to why the Capitalist nations have to boycott and embargo the Socialist nations. It would be very bad for Capitalism if it turns out Socialism isn't as awful as Capitalism claims. So Capitalism does everything it can to undermine Socialism, including starting a war in Vietnam, which Capitalism actually lost.

The Bible says man was created first. (Tho later it contradicts itself and says they were created at the same time.)

It is not likely or even possible scientifically speaking that man was "created" first as only women can create more life.

This ability makes women far superior to males in an evolutionary sense.

Males exist to create genetic diversity in the life that women create.

#27 Examples.

You got actual proof?

Socialism is an economic system not a form of Government. Socialism varies widely in Application.

Nazism was Expansionist and EnthnoCentric. It Exalted the Volk. Meaning "Real" Germans er,Jews,er Americans.

Socialism is diverse, everything from Full on Communism to State ownership of some Industries that benefit from economies of Scale.

There is little diversity among the EthnoState Bigots,they all want the Subhumans to Die...

Genocide is the intentional, systematic destruction of a national, ethnic, racial, or religious group, defined legally by acts like killing, causing serious bodily/mental harm, or preventing births. Punishable under international law by tribunals or the ICC, it involves destroying a group's social cohesion and existence. It differs from other atrocities by its specific intent to eliminate a group.

Funny that the conservative agenda regarding trans in America is eerily reminiscent of genocide
