spectrecowboy @spectrecowboy - Tumblr Blog

hello :)

call me spectre or gray (they/them)

fancy buttons for a TLDR on my strawpage

reblogs greatly appreciated!! you can also support me through my buying me a little treat :3!

Comms are open!! You can view the listings here or you can contact me via dms.

no AI. no TERFS. no NFT Bros. no Zionists. don't use/repost/trace my work in any form!

minors do not follow this blog will be occasionally nsft [not safe for tumblr] (tagged accordingly of course) so if you're under 18 I'd rather you didn't interact but its not like i can stop you

Multifandom and Multishipping, don't bring your discourse here please. Big fan of 'why don't they all just hold hands' poly ships instead of pitting characters against eachother. especially on my 911 abc fanarts, I don't really engage with that fandom much anymore because of the discourse and rampant homophobia.

However, if you see me reblog something that's ai and i didn't catch it or the creator/author has done something heinous and I wasn't aware please let me know!

people say trans men dont do anything for the queer community or that trans men just go stealth and abandon other trans people but two trans men are suing Kansas state for civil rights violations after they stripped trans people of their driver's licenses

ive seen people report this as "two transgender individuals" they are TRANS MEN. ftm transgender men. degendering them by calling them "individuals" enforces our erasure and invisibility. I hope they win and the licenses of transgender kansans are reinstated, I hope its remembered as a historic civil rights case, and I hope their identities as trans men are never stripped from them in the retelling of this story.

busket

someone on Twitter qrted my post about this and said "trans people are getting erased from public existence but this is what is the most pressing issue to you"

this IS trans people getting erased from public existence. trans folks in Kansas getting stripped of their ID is getting stripped of the legal recognition of their identity. and when you ignore the gender identities of these two Kansas trans men who are suing the state and refer to them as a nebulous, degendered "transgender individuals" you are also stripping them of their gender identity. they are about to enter the legal battle of their lives to insist on their right to be seen as legally men and have their name and correct gender marker on their government ID, how can you pretend to care about that fight if you dont even want to call them trans men?? like, all of this is connected, its the very same issue.

senhor-do-escuro

The way they talk about "trans people" never seem to include trans men.😒

Also ironic that EVERY SINGLE TIME trans men try to talk about their issues there's always someone saying "X got it worse!" So what?

Trans men are allowed to focus on themselves for once without being constantly dismissed or pushed to the background. Like they don't matter.

A lot of supposed "queer allies" don't care about trans men. At all.

Hawaiʻi is currently in the midst of a natural disaster if you didnt know

Apparently there isn’t much news coverage of this outside of the islands

Towns are flooded, homes destroyed and collapsed, roads collapsed, lives at risk, gas leaks from the flood damage

Haleiwa and Waialua are currently evacuated because the 120 year old dam is at risk of bursting

Mind you that damn is owned by Dole. Theyve known about it needing to be fixed for years and years and years. Despite having more than enough money they refuse

The state has been trying to buy it out from them for years so they can fix it, but the sale hasn’t gone through

Keep in mind that the Dole family were the ones who illegally imprisoned Queen Liliuʻokalani and illegally overthrew the monarchy.

If I see another goddamn person say how sad this is for the tourists whose “trips were ruined” and compare a messed up vacation to people losing their homes, belongings, and livelihoods, I’m going to lose my mind

I am so lucky that my family or friend’s are safe and the few whose houses flooded didnt have it too bad, but so so so many were not as fortunate

If you haven’t heard anything about this until now, I suggest looking into it

The sirens didn’t go off until the flood had been going on for hours. Our state government is spending so much money on a fucking monorail we don’t need rather than fixing the infrastructure.

It’s been the locals and Kanaka doing the most to help get people to safety from the start

I don’t really know how to end this

I just need to know people are aware

I need to know people are seeing whats happening

"Don't take this storm lightly," Hawaii Governor Josh Green warned on Saturday, as more rain is expected on Oahu and Maui.

so. not to doxx myself (i've talked about this here before though) but i live in Kansas. and my license was just revoked very suddenly and immediately because i'm trans and had changed my gender marker.

so now i cannot legally drive or vote until/unless i let them force me to carry around a card that misgenders me and outs me as trans, because i certainly don't look female anymore.

xochihuacoyotl

so hey if you have the means and want to help with any of this, please consider donating to the ACLU of Kansas because they are at least going to try to do something to push back against this, and i'm such a panicky wreck that the only thing i can do to get through my immediate gut reaction to having my license revoked tonight (i cannot stress enough that i received the letter today saying that my license is no longer valid tomorrow) is focus on the fact that there's at least one entity trying to protect me and my fellow trans kansans.

More info on what's been happening in Kansas:

"The legislature did not include a grace period."

once again VERY quickly glancing at the flood of notes as they rush by me, and this set of tags from @the-cassquatch caught my eye:

it was basically rushed through. there's a vague timeline on this that starts in 2023, when a law (i don't remember which one at this point) was passed trying to define gender as being only male or female in kansas and restricting what bathrooms we're allowed to use in government facilities and shit like that, and Kris Kobach tried to take that law and say "THIS MEANS YOU CAN'T CHANGE YOUR SEX/GENDER ON YOUR BIRTH CERTIFICATE OR DRIVER'S LICENSE" and in June of 2023 all such actions across the state were frozen by a county judge.

it was initially expected that this freeze would end in a matter of weeks because you can only put a hold on these things via judicial action for so long. they managed to keep this tied up in legal limbo for almost 2 and a half years, though. in October of 2025, that ruling was finally and decisively overturned, and we were able to start changing our gender markers again.

that's when i finally changed mine. (i had received my updated birth certificate on a saturday in june of 2023, and the judge put a hold on gender marker changes the following monday, bright and early. i woke up early all excited to go update my driver's license only to find out i couldn't.)

anyway, we knew in October of 2025 that Kansas Republicans (who hold a supermajority in our legislature, if that wasn't clear) were going to do something to fuck with all of that again. we've known this was coming. it just got pushed through way faster than expected, and in the most cruel and inhumane way possible. the lack of grace period on updating our IDs is likely due to manifold influence, but more on that in a moment.

SB 244, the bill that resulted in the ID of every kansan who has legally transitioned being revoked LITERALLY OVERNIGHT, was introduced in its current form on January 27th, 2026. It passed the house 87 to 36 on January 28th, and passed the senate 30 to 9 on the same day. Our governor, gods help her, was presented the bill on February 3rd, 2026. She vetoed it on February 16th, 2026.

On February 17th, the senate voted to override that veto, 31 to 9; and on February 18th, the house voted to override the veto, 87 to 37.

we knew this was coming, and we knew it was coming fast, but it has been less than a month since the bill was introduced, and the kansas legislature website is an archaic piece of shit. the news in kansas mostly leans pro-republican, so there's little reason for them to cover this in a way that's actually helpful and informative, and that's assuming you even trust mainstream news enough to watch it at all.

tl;dr: we have known about this bill in its current form for less than a month. we received no information about its implementation or when, exactly, it would go into effect until, as far as i can tell, very literally yesterday. and it is in effect today.

tags from @nik0ftime, it is extremely important to note that Laura Kelly did not send these letters herself. she vetoed the bill, and the republican supermajority in the state legislature overrode her veto. the letters came from the department of revenue. Laura Kelly is likely not a perfect governor (literally we have had so little experience with her not being more or less shackled by a republican supermajority legislature it's not even funny), but she has, at every turn, pushed back against anti-trans bills in every way she can within her power as the governor of Kansas.

i forgot i was going to discuss the manifold influence on why they've done this! thank you for the reminder.

the reason they didn't give us a grace period on this is manifold.

they want as few of us to understand the specifics of what's happening to us, legally, as possible so that

we will drive without a valid license

we will use the "wrong" bathroom in public

we will try to vote without a valid ID (and, yes, presenting a valid ID to vote is required in Kansas, which is fucked up for many reasons)

and all of that is so that they can fine and/or jail us. the fines are prohibitive for many trans people (including myself) and jail time is already traumatic enough, but we would be jailed according to our assigned sex at birth, making it extra traumatic

and the added layer, the cherry on top, is that these are all attempts to force us to either leave the state and go be disgusting faggots somewhere else or, even better, just detransition and stop being disgusting faggots.

do i sound angry? it's probably because i'm angry.

watch this post slowly get longer and longer. tags from @literary-potato

100%. i live one of the most urban areas of kansas, and public transit will still only get me so far. on top of that, i'm physically disabled, so while for an able-bodied person the, for example, branch of the public library nearest to my home is in cycling or walking distance, for me it is not. i have to drive there- or, now, get someone to drive me. it's too close for me to be able to utilize public transit and too far for me to be able to convey myself there as a pedestrian.

worse still, my therapist, who i now desperately need to see, as you might imagine, is in a different city an hour's drive away. i cannot take public transit to see her. i now need someone to drive me.

gods forbid you live outside of city limits. then you have no option but to drive.
