As good news as this is, it doesn’t really warrant the headline “whoa” when she comes out and says she vetoed virtually the same bill last year.

and another Republican governor vetoed a similar bill the year before that!

“I vetoed a nearly identical bill to this one last year,” said Gov. Ayotte, according to The New Hampshire Bulletin. “I made it clear this issue needed to be addressed in a thoughtful, narrow way that protects the privacy, safety, and rights of all Granite Staters. Unfortunately, there is minimal difference between Senate Bill 268 and the bill I vetoed last year, which [Republican] Governor [Chris] Sununu vetoed the year prior.”

so yeah, misleading / dishonest headline

Definitely, considering she previously said this

“I believe there are important and legitimate privacy and safety concerns raised by biological males using places such as female locker rooms and being placed in female correctional facilities.”

She vetoed the bill because it wasn’t narrow enough, not because she was trying to protect trans people.
