TL;DR Summary

Kansas has become the latest state to ban transgender athletes from girls’ and women’s sports from kindergarten through college, with the law taking effect on July 1. The move is part of a broader campaign by Republican lawmakers across the US to restrict LGBTQ rights. The state has also passed a broad bathroom bill and is pursuing proposals to end gender-affirming care for minors and restrict restroom use. LGBTQ-rights advocates say it is part of a national campaign from right-wing traditionalists to erase transgender, non-binary, gender-queer and gender-fluid people from American society.
