Gov. Spencer Cox explained his decisions to veto a bill that excluded transgender girls from competing in school sports last year and this year sign a bill that bans surgeries and medical interventions for transgender minors.
In a live discussion with Washington Post journalists Thursday, he took the opportunity to explain those choices.
"I have found that it is virtually impossible to have a rational conversation with people about this," Cox said. "People's minds are already made up and in very passionate ways." "And that's what we've done in the state of Utah. We're pushing pause, gathering the best science we can before we make a decision on how we're going to proceed," Cox said.
"This is very different from 10 years ago and the people that were transitioning at that time," he said.
