Ohio Overrides Governor's Veto to Ban Gender-Affirming Care for Minors and Restrict Transgender Athletes
TL;DR Summary
Ohio lawmakers override Governor Mike DeWine's veto to ban gender-affirming care for minors, joining over 20 states with similar restrictions. The legislation prohibits hormone therapy, puberty blockers, and gender-reassignment surgery for people under 18, as well as transgender girls from playing on sports teams designated for girls and women. The move has sparked outrage from trans-rights advocates and families of trans youths, leaving them in a lurch and facing the burden of traveling elsewhere for care.
