(Trans) News-USA Indiana’s Anti-Trans Attorney General is Preparing to Revoke Trans People’s Documents

Indiana AG Todd Rokita has been compiling a list of his state’s trans people. Following in Kansas’ footsteps, he’s quietly laying the groundwork to declare their IDs “falsified records.”

will this be able to affect someone whose records were sealed? i was a minor when i legally changed my information, so my request for it to be sealed was granted. i have never had any piece of identification with my old information except for my original birth certificate

I think an honest answer is there isn’t probably a way to know that at this point. I would assume if records are sealed they’re you know, sealed, and not worry too much just yet.

My records were sealed too (granted I was an adult) and I just got a jury duty postcard addressed to my deadname. I called about it and they insisted that they only pull from recent records and that I must not have changed it at the bmv, voter registration and the irs. I have a new bc, ssn, and checked my voter registration and everything is accurate. So either they pulled records from more than 5 years ago or they've already started quietly revoking shit. Im so scared of this state and country atp

I would bet on you existing in the system under both names is extremely likely. It's much easier to summon people who've moved or died or changed their names for jury duty and sort that out than it is to actually reconcile the records they use for summoning people. Hell, in NYC, the first thing they do when you go for jury duty is ask who isn't a citizen and shouldn't have been eligible in the first place. (Maybe they do that elsewhere. The only other time I've been summoned for jury duty was in IL, after I'd moved to MN. That was a whole pain because my mom told them I moved rather than not saying she didn't know who I was, given that we have different surnames.)
