Kansas Governor Laura Kelly Vetoes Bill Banning Trans Athletes from Women's Sports.

TL;DR Summary
Kansas Governor Laura Kelly vetoed a bill banning transgender athletes from girls' and women's sports for the third year in a row, setting up a fight with the Republican-controlled Legislature to override her. The measure would apply to girls' and women's K-12, club and college sports. If supporters can override Kelly's veto, Kansas would join 18 other states with such a law, including Iowa, Oklahoma and Texas. The measure is among dozens of Republican proposals pushing back against transgender rights in statehouses across the U.S.
