Quick Glance: Kansas Governor Kelly Blocks Gender Confirmation for Minors
  • Kansas Governor Laura Kelly, a Democrat, vetoed a bill on gender confirmation for minors, leading to conflict with Republican state lawmakers.

  • The package of measures now goes back to the state Legislature, where the GOP majority is likely to have enough votes to override the governor's veto. Lawmakers are expected to return for a veto session on April 29.

  • The proposed measure would ban gender-affirming care for trans and non-binary youth in Kansas, including puberty blockers and surgeries, although surgical procedures on children are rarely performed.

  • The law would also allow lawsuits against doctors who would lose their licenses if they provide gender-affirming treatments to minors, and state funds like Medicaid would not be used for such treatments.

Quick Glance: Decision on Participation of Transgender Athletes in U.S. Collegiate Sports
  • The National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics has decided to exclude transgender women from competing in women's sports, taking a stricter stance than other athletic bodies.

  • As per the NAIA policy, only student-athletes whose biological sex is female may participate in women's sports.

  • Transgender athletes are required to have undergone testosterone suppression treatment for at least one year and to meet specific test results at different times of the year according to the NCAA policy.

  • Following transgender swimmer Lia Thomas's victory in the NCAA 500-yard freestyle championship after transitioning, a group of female athletes sued the NCAA, alleging that the participation policy for transgender athletes violated their civil rights under Title IX.

Biden administration expands protections for LGBTQ+ students
Quick Glance: Biden Administration Expands Title IX Protection for LGBTQ Students, Assault Victims
  • The Biden administration released rules that protect the rights of LGBTQ students and change how schools can respond to allegations of sexual assault and misconduct.

  • The Education Department updated Title IX, the 1972 law prohibiting sex discrimination in school programs, with the changes set to take effect on August 1.

  • The new rules eliminate in-person court-like proceedings for sexual assault allegations, broaden the definition of sexual harassment, and officially expand Title IX interpretation to cover pregnant, gay, and transgender students.

  • These changes have sparked mixed reviews and controversy, with supporters praising the increased safety for students while critics argue that the new regulations infringe on due process rights and expressive freedoms.

  • In Finland, police had to intervene to remove protesters trying to disrupt a storytime event hosted by a drag queen for children aged six to 10 at the Oodi Central Library in Helsinki.

  • Many of the protesters at Aida H Dee's events seemed misinformed or uninformed.

  • Drag shows do not inherently involve explicit nudity or sexual references, especially in the case of storytime events for children. Instead, they focus on inclusiveness, education, and representation of marginalized groups.

  • The state Department of Revenue is responsible for driver's license issues in Kansas through its Division of Vehicles.

  • In court documents filed on Friday, the department argued that the attorney general needed authorization from the governor, the legislature, or the local district attorney to initiate a case in state district court.

  • Kansas follows at least eight other states in prohibiting trans people from using restrooms aligned with their gender identification.

  • At least 21 states, including Kansas, limit or prohibit female transgender athletes from competing in female sports.

  • At least 14 states, but not Kansas, have restricted or prohibited children from receiving gender-affirming care.

U.K. prime minister on gender: ‘A man is a man and a woman is a woman’
Quick Glance: U.K. Prime Minister Affirms Gender Identity: 'A Man is a Man and a Woman is a Woman'
  • Prime Minister Rishi Sunak reaffirmed his stance on gender identity in a speech, stating that it is 'common sense' that 'a man is a man and a woman is a woman' - a remark that drew criticism from transgender rights activists and received enthusiastic applause from attendees of the Conservative Party Conference.

  • After pledging to pass legislation ensuring that 'sexual and sadistic' killers would spend their lives in prison, Sunak listed other positions that he believes 'shouldn't be controversial,' including the right for parents to be informed about their children's education on relationships.

  • In June, PinkNews, a British news outlet covering the LGBTQ+ community, accused Sunak of mocking trans women by releasing a secretly recorded video of the prime minister speaking during a meeting with conservative MPs.

  • Following Sunak's speech, India Willoughby, a prominent transgender newsreader, accused the prime minister of 'putting people in danger and inciting threats to their lives' in a video posted on the social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter.
