Wisconsin Democratic Governor <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/tony-evers" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tony Evers</a> vetoed a bill on Wednesday that would have protected kids from irreversible transgender surgeries and hormone procedures.
The bill, which passed the Republican-controlled state legislature, would have banned procedures like double mastectomies on girls who identify as boys, and giving children puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones. Cross-sex hormones can impact bone development, fertility, and heart health.
&#8220;While the governor&#8217;s veto of this legislation is certainly not surprising, it serves as a stark reminder of just how out of touch with reality Governor Evers is,&#8221; Republican state Sen. Duey Stroebel <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/news/democratic-wisconsin-governor-vetoes-bill-to-ban-gender-affirming-care-for-kids/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>. &#8220;Protecting children from invasive and irreversible medical interventions is the right thing to do from both a scientific and ethical standpoint.&#8221;
While Republicans hold a veto-proof majority in the Senate, they are two seats short in the state Assembly. In Kentucky, where the governor&#8217;s office is held by Democrat Governor Andy Beshear, Republicans were able to override Beshear&#8217;s veto to ban transgender procedures on children.
Assembly Speaker Robin Vos decried Evers’ veto, saying that it was misguided.
“Evers made another harmful mistake. Such a life-altering decision should be made when you&#8217;re an adult, not a child. Many countries, including Norway, Sweden, Finland, the United Kingdom, and the Netherlands, do not allow for gender transition surgery before the age of 18,” he <a href="https://twitter.com/SpeakerVos/status/1732423918710079732" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> in a post on X.

Evers, a former school official who portrays himself as a moderate, claimed that the bill would have made Wisconsin less safe.
&#8220;This type of legislation, and the rhetoric beget by pursuing it, harms LGBTQ people and kids’ mental health, emboldens anti-LGBTQ hate and violence, and threatens the safety and dignity of LGBTQ Wisconsinites,&#8221; Evers said in his veto message. &#8220;I will veto any bill that makes Wisconsin a less safe, less inclusive, and less welcoming place for LGBTQ people and kids.&#8221;
More than 20 states have passed bills protecting children from transgender procedures. Left-wing legal groups have sought to challenge the laws with various degrees of success. The ACLU, which lost a challenge to Tennessee’s law before the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/aclu-asks-supreme-court-to-strike-down-tennessee-law-protecting-kids-from-transgender-procedures" target="_blank" rel="noopener">has petitioned</a> the Supreme Court to weigh in on the case.
Evers, who was up for re-election in 2022, has blocked conservative-backed bills on voting, abortion, and gun rights.
