Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers vetoes trans youth care ban
Transgender youth will continue to have access to gender-affirming medical care, provided Gov. Tony Evers' veto survives an override.

Transgender youth will continue to have access to gender-affirming care in Wisconsin after Democratic Gov. Tony Evers, as promised, vetoed a Republican bill that would have banned medical transition for those under 18.
“This was obviously a bill that was begging for a veto … (and) messing with people’s lives,” he said at a closed ceremony on Wednesday morning, surrounded by 80 opponents of the bill including trans youth, health care providers and LGBTQ+ advocates — the “biggest veto” crowd he said he’d ever seen.
Chris Christy, a Republican, also stated at the last GOP debate that he would veto any such legislation stating that parental rights should supersede parenting from the state. However, Ron DeSantis retorted, "Parents should not have the right to abuse their children Chris."
And that is the crux of the issue. Is allowing children to change their sex and sterilize them forever child abuse?
For those children who have gone down that road and now regret their decision it is, which we are seeing today.
How is it that children have the right to change their sex when society deems them unable to decide when to even have sex?
Anyone?
