LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) - Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson on Monday vetoed legislation that would have made his state the first to ban gender confirming treatments or surgery for transgender youth.The Republican governor rejected legislation that would have prohibited doctors from providing gender confirming hormone treatment, puberty blockers or surgery to anyone under 18 years old, or from referring them to other providers for the treatment.The Republican Legislature could still enact the measure, since it only takes a simple majority to override a governor's veto in Arkansas.FILE - Gov.
