Kansas Gov. vetoes gender affirming care ban, bill defining biological sex
Story by Rebekah Chung • Yesterday 5:30 PM
TOPEKA (KSNT) – Kansas Governor Laura Kelly vetoed several controversial bills Thursday, one would provide a definition for biological sex and another would prevent doctors from performing gender reassignment surgery on minors.

The governor vetoed Senate Bill 180, which supporters call the “Women’s Bill of Rights.” The bill would define biological sex in areas like restrooms, locker rooms and domestic violence centers.
Another bill that was vetoed, Senate Bill 26, would create a civil cause of action against a physician who performs childhood gender reassignment service, and require revocation of a physician’s license who performs childhood gender reassignment service.
Kelly released the following message on the bills vetoed on Thursday:
“Companies have made it clear that they are not interested in doing business with states that discriminate against workers and their families. By stripping away rights from Kansans and opening the state up to expensive and unnecessary lawsuits, these bills would hurt our ability to continue breaking economic records and landing new business deals.
“I’m focused on the economy. Anyone care to join me?”

The governor also vetoed Senate Substitute for House Bill 2138, a bundled bill, which includes provisions that would require separate accommodations for students of each biological sex on overnight school district sponsored trips. Supporters say the bill was initially introduced over concerns from a trip in Eudora, Kansas where a girl felt uncomfortable sharing a room with a transgender student on an overnight trip. The Superintendent of the school district denied that the trip was school-sponsored, and opponents of the proposal argued that concerns had already been addressed during testimony.

Disney Is Going To Lose (Again) To Florida and Ron DeSantis | Opinion
Story by Josh Hammer • 8h ago
The first round of the "Florida and Gov. Ron DeSantis v. The Walt Disney Company" fight, held last spring, ended in a clear DeSantis victory and Disney defeat. Following Disney's vocal opposition to Florida's common-sense Parental Rights in Education Act, misleadingly dubbed the "Don't Say Gay" bill, Florida passed a law to abolish the Reedy Creek Improvement District, which in 1967 incentivized Disney's initial planting of a flag in Central Florida by giving the corporation unparalleled government-like powers over basic municipal services such as zoning, building codes, and waste treatment.

Disney thus paid the price for coming out in favor of indoctrinating impressionable kindergarteners in vogue gender ideology and queer theory by having its gratuitous, extra-legal corporate welfare rescinded, putting it on an equal playing field with every other corporation operating in the state of Florida.
Not content to merely get smacked around once, apparently, Disney under former and since-reinstated CEO Bob Iger has opted to attempt a not-so-clever end-around that would thwart the will of Floridians, as represented by the Florida Legislature, and entrench Disney's peculiar legal arrangement in Central Florida for another 30 years. Try as Disney might, the forthcoming result will be a familiar one: Florida and DeSantis are going to win again, and Disney is going to lose again.
