Evers made another harmful mistake. Such a life-altering decision should be made when you'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.
BREAKING: I just vetoed Republicans' bill banning gender-affirming care for LGBTQ youth.
I promised I would veto any bill that makes Wisconsin a less safe, less inclusive, and less welcoming place for LGBTQ folks and kids—and I keep my promises.
