Kentucky’s legislature votes to override Gov. Beshear’s veto of a bill that would prohibit transgender girls and women from playing on female sports teams.
the bill last week, saying it “most likely” violates the Constitution because it “discriminates against transgender children." Conversely, proponents contended that the measure was necessary to protect the rights of cisgender girls and women in school sports.
“This is a huge win for the integrity of women’s sports and with the inevitable enactment of Senate Bill 83 into law,” Republican state Sen. Robby Mills, one of the bill's co-sponsors, toldafter the vote. “Kentucky is a leading voice for female athletes across the nation. The Kentucky General Assembly stands in support of female athletes everywhere as they work hard to achieve their goals and dreams.
Thomas became the first trans athlete to win an NCAA championship last month, placing first in the 500-yard freestyle race at the Division I finals in Atlanta, after a successful season on the Penn women’s swimming and diving team.
