Hello everyone! There has been quite a Staff dicussion recently, and we figured it would be better to include you all.

Do you recall that Kansas episode, in which Dorothy appeared in Oz through a Cyclone and then went back home with the magic slippers? Well, there's been conflicting points of view as to wether her Kansas is in fact the Land Without Magic or wether it was left ambiguous. So, I'm gonna try to cover up both sides of the debate and then you can give your opinon.

Kansas is from the Land Without Magic
According to some, the episode made it clear that Dorothy is from the Land Without Magic's (aka Our World's) Kansas. This is the evidence they provide:
 * In "The Doctor", Rumplestiltskin says that the slippers have been taken to the Land Without Magic. And Dorothy once went with the slippers to her Kansas. So Kansas must be in the LWM.

Kansas' nature is left ambiguous
On the other hand, it is also possible that Kansas' nature is left unknown. This is why some people might think this: =Your Opinion= So, what do you all think? Can we be certain that Dorothy is from the Land Without Magic? Can we not? If you have any other arguments to support either of these points of view please do share them! Thank you! 
 * There is never a direct reference to the Land Without Magic itself. All that they said was "home" and "Kansas".
 * Rumplestiltskin saying that the slippers are in the LWM proves nothing. A lot could've happened between Dorothy going home and the slippers ending up in the LWM, nobody knows, and it would be speculation to both say she went to the LWM or to say she went elswhere, hence its ambiguous.
 * Kansas might be in some different world, such as the Land Without Color, Victorian Era, 1920's World, etc., or be one of its own, and there is nothing that rules this option out.
