Kentucky GOP Overrides Anti-Trans Bill Veto To Ban One Trans Girl From Playing On Field Hockey Team She Started

I didn't get it at first. But 5 years after my son told me he was transgender, I do now. He's a male, man, guy,... It doesn't matter what was between his legs when he was born.\n\nThe KY Legislators that voted for the bill and the veto are uninformed, bigoted asses.https://twitter.com/jilevin/status/1514417136776716293\u00a0\u2026

Remember well the misogynistic Republican-controlled legislature in #Kentucky come their Primaries. Remember all who voted to override the governor\u2019s order to protect women from being abused by men in women\u2019s sports and taking away their achievements.https://www.foxnews.com/politics/kentucky-lawmakers-override-governors-veto-of-bill-banning-transgender-athletes-from-girls-sports\u00a0\u2026

Another Republican iron curtain state. Don\u2019t sit any election out, or your state will fall, too.https://twitter.com/cnnpolitics/status/1514398259552346116\u00a0\u2026

238 & counting anti-lgbt bills, mostly the transgender community have been proposed this year alone.\n\nThis makes me fkn sick.\n\nThe upcoming midterms are huge & could impact the lives of many transgender individuals.\n\nGet out & vote November 8th!!https://twitter.com/NBCNews/status/1514404832437800966\u00a0\u2026

As the Kentucky legislature cruelly votes to override the Governor's righteous veto of the anti-transgender student sports bill, our hearts are with every trans young person in Kentucky and every advocate who worked against this attack.https://www.nbcnews.com/nbc-out/out-politics-and-policy/kentucky-legislature-overrides-governors-veto-transgender-sports-ban-rcna24303\u00a0\u2026

15 states have now banned trans girls from playing school sports.\n\nLet\u2019s be clear \u2014 this has nothing to do with fairness in sports and everything to do with conservatives wishing trans youth did not exist. That\u2019s why they\u2019re also fighting about classrooms, bathrooms, etc.https://twitter.com/NBCOUT/status/1514383059105173506\u00a0\u2026

THIS MUST STOP!! Legislatures across the country are making terrible decisions that will harm trans/LGBTQ+ youth for decades to come. #EnoughIsEnough #ProtectTransKidshttps://twitter.com/NBCOUT/status/1514383059105173506\u00a0\u2026
