Except in the real world, you still lose your job after getting arrested and charged.
You'd have to be arrested for that first. Are you in the habit of being arrested on a day to say basis?
You don't think that Kansas cops will just profile anyone who looks even vaguely trans or GNC and demand to see ID?
I hope they do! That's where they'll get outrage. Striking outside marginalized communities is and always will be dangerous ground so arresting a dude that looks a bit too feminine or a woman who looks a tad too masculine is and I'm sorry to say this the exact thing you need to be hoping for.
Are you high right now?
Would it matter if I was or are you just being a bigot?
Your comments are complete gibberish. Yes, people get arrested for driving without a valid license. You have to show your license when you get pulled over. This really isn't that complicated buddy. They just voided the license of every trans person in the state. These people literally don't have valid drivers licenses. People could still use their old license, but it would be no different from anyone else driving on an expired license.
I'm not really understanding why you're having such difficulty understanding these very simple concepts. That's why I assumed you're high.
No they aren't.
I never said people don't get arrested for not having a valid license, I implied they need pretext to pull you over to find out your license isn't valid.
I'm not understanding why you chose to be rude but you do you buddy that said you sound like an awful person if you can't have a conversation without being a dick. Also, so that's a yes on just being a bigot, cool.
