On April 5, 2023, the Republican-led Legislature in Kansas enacted a law to ban transgender athletes from participating in girls' and women's athletics at schools, overriding the veto of Gov. Laura Kelly, a Democrat. Critics of what authors named the "Fairness in Women's Sports Act," like the American Civil Liberties Union, called it discriminatory and alleged that it exposed "all girls and women to potentially invasive examinations just to be able to participate." Snopes reporter Damakant Jayshi looks at what the law does and doesn't say.
