The GOP in Kentucky overrode the Democratic Governor's veto of a bill regulating some of the most personal aspects of life for transgender young people. This bill would restrict access to gender-affirming health care, outlaw Gender Reassignment Surgery for anyone under 18, and inpatient and outpatient gender-affirming hospital services. Opponents of the bill rallied outside the Capitol and chanted "shame" as the votes to override the veto were tallied. The sweeping Kentucky measure would ban gender-affirming care for minors, outlaw gender reassignment surgery for anyone under 18, and prohibit schools from discussing sexual orientation or gender identity with students of any age.
