Beshear agreed with these points, but primarily focused on the policies of the Kentucky High School Athletic Association (KHSAA), which he said were more fair and appropriate.<\/p>\n<p>KHSAA policies allow <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2022\/04\/07\/disney-glaad-transgender-family-lgbt\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">transgender<\/a> students to compete in the sport of their choice if they have had their gender legally changed and undergone medical sex-change procedures, Beshear explained.<\/p>\n<p>Beshear claimed in his veto letter that the legislation would have imposed \u201ca complete ban on transgender children to compete in girls\u2019 sports.\u201d The bill requires students of all gender identities compete in sports according to their biological sex. It would not, for example, ban transgender children who are biologically female but identify as male from competing in girls\u2019 sports.<\/p>\n<p>The governor\u2019s office declined to comment on the discrepancy. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2022\/04\/06\/south-carolina-henry-mcmaster-transgender-sports\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">(RELATED: South Carolina Passes Bill To Keep Males Out Of Women\u2019s Sports Over Massive Dem Opposition)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">The woke movement is alive &#038; well in the KY Governor\u2019s mansion after today\u2019s vetoes of SB83 &#038; SB1.
