Tired of holding out for a hero? So are we. This week on Ultrawhelmed, we talk about Kansas invalidating the IDs of trans Kansans overnight, why it seems like no one is stepping up to the fascists in charge, and why is it socially unacceptable to burn everything down like the French do? But does feeling like we've been abandoned mean we have been?

Since recording this episode, a judge in Kansas ruled that Kansas' bathroom ban and new ID laws (both which target trans residents) will stay in effect during the ACLU's ongoing lawsuit to reverse both laws. Trans fam, we love you and support you. If you need assistance or someone to talk to, email us at the email below.
