Kentucky's legislature voted Wednesday to override Gov. Andy Beshear's veto of a bill that bans performing transgender medical procedures on minors such as puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones and surgeries.
The Bluegrass State is now the 13th U.S. state to enact legislation restricting transgender procedures related to minors, measures that critics say will irreparably damage children.
Mr. Beshear, a Democrat, vetoed the measure Friday and the Republican-led General Assembly acted to reverse him just five days later. The measure, S.B. 150, received overwhelming legislative support when passed by both houses earlier this year. “To say this is a bill that protects children is disingenuous,” Ms. Berg said. “To call this a parent’s rights bill is an absolutely despicable affront to me personally.”
