A Kansas bill banning transgender athletes in girls’ and women’s sports has been vetoed for the third year in a row
In defending the legislation, Kansas House Speaker Dan Hawkins, a Wichita Republican, recently posted tweets endorsing a theory debunked by multiple studies that a “social contagion” has led to more people identifying as transgender.
During her reelection campaign, Kelly aired a television ad that featured her looking into the camera and said, “Of course, men should not play girls’ sports. OK, we all agree there.” “It’s clear that candidate Kelly is gone and Gov. Kelly has returned," Hawkins said. “Now that she no longer has to face the voters, the governor has done another about face.”giving backers one more than the two-thirds needed in the 40-member chamber to override a veto.While supporters need 84 of 125 votes to override a veto, two Republicans who backed the bill were absent.
Another Senate-passed bill would define male and female in Kansas law based on a person's anatomy at birth and declare that cisgender women and girls have a right to private spaces separate from men, such as bathrooms and locker rooms.
