Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb (R) and Utah Gov. Spencer Cox (R) “vetoed bills that would have barred transgender girls from competing in female sports at school … as the debate over whether transgender athletes can compete in sports leagues that differ from their biological sex at birth has become a contentious battle in some state legislatures,” the Wall Street Journal reports.
“Leaders in both GOP-led state legislatures on Tuesday said they intend to hold votes to override these vetoes.”
Meanwhile, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) refused to accept the victory of Lia Thomas, a transgender swimmer on the University of Pennsylvania women’s team and instead declared runner-up in the race as the “rightful winner.”
