Kansas enacts ban on transgender athletes despite governor's veto.

Kansas has become the 20th state to pass a transgender student athlete ban into law, following the Legislature's successful override of Gov. Laura Kelly's veto of the bill. The legislation requires children to participate in school activities based on the gender they were assigned at birth, from elementary school to college. Challenges could require them to undergo genital inspections, or require a birth certificate for proof of the child's gender. The ban is one of several pieces of legislation aimed at transgender youths across the state, including a proposed "women's bill of rights" that would ban transgender women from female-designated spaces, and a bill that would block access to gender-affirming treatment for those under age 18.
