The governor also wanted a compromise with LGBTQ groups that would allow some transgender youth to compete in sports, a compromise that he said \u201cfell apart\u201d in the final hours of the session. Cox also claimed the late changes meant no public opinion could be heard on the new language and accused legislators of using a \u201cpoor process.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Finally, he said that one of the reasons that he decided to vote against the bill was that he was \u201cnot an expert on transgenderism\u201d and \u201cwhen in doubt however, I always try to err on the side of kindness, mercy and compassion.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies for breaking news, investigative reporting, sports, podcasts, in-depth analysis, books, and entertainment for a reason: because we believe in what we do.
