Quick Glance: Kansas Governor Kelly Blocks Gender Confirmation for Minors

Quick Glance: Clash Over Transgender Youth Rights Escalates in Kansas
- The Democratic governor of Kansas rejected a bill that would have banned gender-affirming care for minors, leading to a standoff with the state's Republican supermajority.
- The Republican-led legislature is expected to push for an override of the veto. The legislation halted by Kansas Governor Laura Kelly would prohibit hormone therapy, puberty blockers, and gender reassignment surgery for individuals under 18.
