Kentucky Governor Rejects Anti-Transgender Bill.

Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear has vetoed a Republican bill that would ban transgender youths from gender-affirming healthcare and restrict public toilets they use. The bill would also let teachers refuse to refer to transgender students by their chosen pronouns, outlaw gender reassignment surgery for minors, stop use of puberty blockers and prohibit gender-affirming hospital services. Supporters of the bill said they were trying to protect children from undergoing gender-affirming treatments they would regret later in life. The bill is part of nationwide attacks on the LGBTQ community by conservative politicians.
