nytimes.com/2023/04/06/us/transgender-athletes-title-ix-biden-adminstration.html
Quick Glance: Biden's transgender athlete proposal clashes with DeSantis' Florida rules
- Protesters in Bradenton, Florida, in 2021, denounced a Florida bill that barred transgender athletes from participating in women's and girls' scholastic sports.
- A proposal by the Biden administration to establish new regulations for transgender athlete eligibility in school sports is likely to clash with a Florida law that prohibits transgender girls and women from participating in female scholastic sports.
- The proposed rule is the result of a two-year review that outlines the Biden administration's policy on transgender students' eligibility to compete on gendered sports teams.
- Transgender athletes have become a political flashpoint in statehouses across the country.

- The Florida Legislature established it so that Disney could build the infrastructure for Walt Disney World at no cost to Florida taxpayers.

Kansas lawmakers approve new abortion procedure bill that faces uncertain legal fate
pbs.org/newshour/health/kansas-lawmakers-approve-new-abortion-procedure-bill-that-faces-uncertain-legal-fate
Quick Glance: Kansas Republicans plan to override the governor's veto of a transgender bathroom bill.
- The bill addresses bathrooms, locker rooms, and other facilities, and strictly defines "sex" as "either male or female, at birth" - a move that LGBTQ+ advocates say would legally erase transgender people and deny recognition to non-binary, gender fluid, and gender non-conforming people.
- The Kansas bill defines male and female based on the physical anatomy of a person at birth.
- Carson made the remarks during a lobbying day for LGBTQ youth.
- The bill's language would prohibit transgender people from changing their driver's licences and birth certificates, but Kansas is subject to a federal court order that allows birth certificate changes, which was issued in 2019.

- The Reedy Creek Improvement District was dissolved by the Florida Senate on Wednesday, allowing Disney to run as its own municipality.
- Walt Disney passed away in 1966, the year before the Reedy Creek ordinance was implemented and a few years before Walt Disney World Resort opened in 1971.

- While Disney is responsible for its own services in the district, it does receive some advantages.
