TL;DR Summary

Kansas lawmakers have passed a bill banning transgender athletes in women's sports, overriding Governor Laura Kelly's veto. The Fairness in Women's Sports Act passed in the Kansas Senate and House, with supporters arguing it is about fairness in girls' youth athletics. However, opponents argue that the bill is discriminatory and unnecessary, as there are only 11 transgender students registered with the state high school activities association, and the association has received zero complaints about them. The new law will go into effect this summer.
