Ohio lawmakers are debating whether to proceed with plans to outlaw gender-affirming child care despite the governor’s veto of the bill late last month.
On Wednesday, the Ohio House did decide whether to bypass Governor. A expenses that would have prohibited all kinds of gender-affirming treatment for adolescents was vetoed by Mike DeWine. Republicans want to outlaw gender-affirming procedures, hormone treatments, and other forms of treatment for transgender people under the age of 18 in the state.
At the end of December, DeWine vetoed the legislation, claiming that it was necessary to preserve career. He asserted that parents and medical professionals, not the state, really make those health care choices. He signed an executive order earlier this month that would still permit various forms of treatment, such as hormone therapies, but would forbid gender-affirming surgeries for minors.
DeWine has stated that he did not take into account that provision of the expenses when deciding to veto the legislation, but it does include procedures that would prohibit transgender athletes from participating in female ‘ and women’s sports.
DeWine stated that while the policy only affects a small percentage of children, its effects on families and children who suffer from female anxiety cannot be more severe.
Later this month, the Ohio Senate is anticipated to discuss the issue.
