"While I freely acknowledge the intent of this legislation is well-meaning as a way to protect the integrity and fairness of women's sports in our state, by enacting an outright ban on transgender individuals participating in sports teams, I believe Wyoming sends a harmful message that these individuals and their families do not deserve the same opportunities as others," the Governor wrote.
"Moreover the ban leaves little or no flexibility for families to support their children. As a parent, that saddens me," the Governor added.
