PHOENIX - Republican Gov. Doug Ducey has signed bills banning transgender girls from playing on girls' sports teams and prohibiting gender reassignment surgeries for minors.The governor described Senate bills 1138 and 1165 as legislation to "protect female athletes" and "to ensure that individuals undergoing irreversible gender reassignment surgery are of adult age.""This legislation is common-sense and narrowly-targeted to address these two specific issues ⁠— while ensuring that transgender individuals continue to receive the same dignity, respect and kindness as every individual in our society," Ducey said in a Twitter thread.Two GOP governors last week bucked conservatives in their party and vetoed bills in Indiana and Utah requiring trans girls to play on boys sports teams.Republicans have said blocking transgender players from girls sports teams would protect the integrity of women’s sports, fearing that trans athletes would have an advantage.Many point to the transgender collegiate swimmer Lia Thomas, who won an individual title at the NCAA Women’s Division I Swimming and Diving Championship last week.But there are few trans athletes in Arizona schools.

Kate Garraway treated her daughter Darcey to a special night out at the theatre after a “tough week” amid her husband Derek’s health battle.Kate and her daughter Darcey celebrated her 16th birthday at the theatre and shared a selfie to mark the occasion. The 54 year old took her to London’s Dominion Theatre to see the stage production of 80s classic, Dirty Dancing.

Kate Garraway has reportedly suffered another misfortune following her husband Derek Draper’s long-term effects after catching Covid-19 as his business — which she took over as director of amid his health issues — has folded.The 54 year old mentioned having fears of “money running out” paying for Derek’s aftercare treatment and now a source alleges she is facing more difficulty as Derek's psychotherapy company Astra Aspera Limited has struggled to “keep going". After falling seriously ill with Covid-19 in 2020, Derek has been looked after by carers and wife Kate — leaving little time for the Good Morning Britain presenter to be able to focus on the couple's business.

Kate Garraway has told how her life was turned upside down after her husband Derek Draper was diagnosed with coronavirus.Derek contracted Covid-19 in March 2020 and was quickly taken to intensive care where he was put into an induced coma and battled the deadly virus for nearly 400 days, before returning home.The 54 year old former Labour lobbyist still needs care 24-hours a day and is unable to walk and talk properly as he continues to battle the long-term effects of the virus.Good Morning Britain host Kate, 54, discussed her husband's health in her new BBC series, Your Body Uncovered, on Wednesday night.She said at the start of the episode: "Having a serious health condition is terrifying and having someone you love with a health condition can be just as daunting."When my husband Derek was diagnosed with Covid-19, it turned our lives upside down.

KATE Garraway told of how husband Derek's Covid battle "turned her life upside down" in her new TV show. The broadcaster has bravely continued working while raising her two children and caring for Derek over the past two years.

SUSANNA Reid posted a sweet photo with Kate Garraway as she praised her for "always smiling" through husband Derek Draper's health battle. The broadcaster, 51, shared the snap on Instagram after Kate's moving documentary Caring For Derek aired on ITV.

KATE Garraway has said it's 'awful watching the heartbreak' in husband Derek Draper's eyes as he dreams about life before his Covid battle. The Good Morning Britain presenter, whose husband has been in need of round-the-clock care since he contracted the virus in March 2020, has detailed the impact it has had on her 54-year-old partner.

Good Morning Britain presenter Ben Shephard has said how his colleague Kate Garraway will "never give up" on her husband Derek Draper as he battles to cope with the effects of severe Covid on his body.Derek, 54, was admitted to hospital in March 2020 and placed into a coma after being infected with Covid-19.After spending an entire year in hospital he has now returned home but is unable to properly move or communicate after suffering damage all over his body and requires round-the-clock care.Kate's close friend and fellow presenter on Good Morning Britain Ben appeared on ITV documentary Caring For Derek, which charts Derek's slow recovery and his wife's struggle caring for him.In the documentary Ben said Kate will always stand by her man despite her admitting he’s almost a "stranger" now.He said: "Derek has undoubtedly changed from the man I knew a couple of years ago, and certainly from the person that Kate fell in love with."He admitted Kate will find trying to accept what the future might look like "really difficult"."One thing everybody knows about Kate is that she hates letting anybody down," Ben said."The idea that she would think that people might think she’s given up would so far removed from who she is, what motivates her and what drives her on."I don’t think she ever will [give up]."Kate discussed her life with Derek before he fell ill in the documentary, saying she "married someone who was loud and fast-talking, challenging and loving and all of those things"."And the person he is now in many ways is a stranger," she added.She said that while he may never "command a room with a thesis on modern psychology again", she wondered if that is "the be-all and end-all".Kate said: "If we have a love and he can be a dad
