Indiana has been keeping a list of trans residnets. It could revoke their IDs like Kansas did. - LGBTQ Nation
"Key to the Kansas revocation scheme was keeping tabs on transgender people who've sought changes to their identity documents. A database with that information identifies exactly who possesses the documents that the state wants to revoke, clearing the way to do it without a costly and time-consuming manual review of every birth certificate and driver's license in state and county records."
"Indiana, however, has long been compiling lists of trans people in the state based on identity document change requests. One method is straightforward: requests for gender marker changes to both driver's licenses and birth certificates are flagged in the state's records system. Another is a backdoor method: following passage of a gender binary bill in Indiana last year, the Department of Health was instructed to forward all trans people's gender amendment requests to the Office of Attorney General Todd Rokita."
"In a worst-case scenario, trans Hoosiers with documents that don't reflect their sex at birth could be charged with a felony for committing fraud, earning two and a half years in prison and a $10,000 fine."
Indiana has established systems to track transgender residents who have sought gender marker changes on identity documents, mirroring Kansas's approach to document revocation. The state flags requests for gender marker changes on both driver's licenses and birth certificates in its records system. Additionally, following passage of a gender binary bill, the Department of Health forwards all trans gender amendment requests to the Attorney General's office. This tracking infrastructure creates a database identifying exactly which trans Hoosiers possess documents that don't reflect their sex at birth. In a worst-case scenario, trans residents could face felony fraud charges, resulting in up to two and a half years in prison and $10,000 fines. Other hostile states lack similar tracking mechanisms, making Indiana's systematic approach particularly concerning.
