"Wisconsin Governor Vetoes Transgender Athlete Bans and School Sports Restrictions"

Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers vetoed a bill passed by the Republican-controlled Legislature that aimed to ban transgender high school athletes from competing on teams aligning with their gender identity. Evers, surrounded by Democratic lawmakers and advocates, emphasized the harm such legislation poses to LGBTQ individuals and their mental health. The veto comes amid a nationwide debate, with at least 20 states having approved similar bans, while a Biden administration proposal seeks to forbid such outright bans, citing violations of Title IX.
