The debate over the inclusion of transgender athletes, particularly women and girls, has become a political flashpoint, especially among conservatives.
Washington Transgender women and girls in Kentucky will no longer be allowed to compete on sports teams consistent with their gender at public and private schools in the state after lawmakers on Wednesday overrode a veto from their Democratic governor to enact the restrictive measure.
Gov. Andy Beshear had vetoed Senate Bill 83, titled the Fairness in Womens' Sports Act, last week, saying at the time that it"most likely violates" the US Constitution and that there was no need for such a ban in the commonwealth. But on Wednesday, Kentucky's GOP-controlled legislature voted overwhelmingly along party lines to bypass the governor and enact the ban. Kentucky is the second state this year to enact such a ban through lawmakers' overriding of a veto.
