    The Spin

    Left narrative

    The governors' decisions should've been celebrated. There is no place for discrimination in the law and these bans unfairly target transgender youth. Both Cox and Holcomb rightly chose compassion where other GOP lawmakers have been motivated by transphobia.

    Right narrative

    Allowing biological males with years of testosterone-enhanced capability to compete in women's sports simply because they identify as female is disrespectful towards both biologically female competitors and the sport itself. It was clear the vetoes would never hold up.
