Ohio's Ban on Gender-Affirming Care Sparks Legal Battle and Fears for Trans Kids

TL;DR Summary
Ohio's legislature overrides the governor's veto to pass a bill banning gender-affirming care for trans youth, making it the 23rd state to restrict trans healthcare for minors. Families are considering leaving the state to access necessary care, as the new law prohibits prescribing puberty blockers or hormone therapy to trans patients under 18. Trans kids and their parents share their experiences and fears, with many planning to relocate to protect their access to healthcare.
