"Wisconsin Governor Faces Backlash for Vetoing Bills Affecting Transgender Athletes"

Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers, a Democrat, faces backlash for vetoing a GOP bill aimed at preventing transgender students from competing in school sports teams that do not align with their biological sex. Evers cited concerns about discrimination and harmful rhetoric targeting LGBTQ individuals, particularly transgender and gender nonconforming kids. Critics accuse Evers of despising women and failing to protect female athletes, while Evers argues that the bill conflicts with existing state and federal policies. The measure passed through the GOP-controlled legislature but was vetoed by Evers, who vowed to veto any bill that makes Wisconsin less inclusive for LGBTQ people and kids.
