Gov. After talking to families and coming to the conclusion that medical decisions should be made by parents in consultation with health experts, not by state, Mike DeWine vetoed a bill in December that had dually ban trans girls and women from playing on sexual sports teams in K-12 and school.
DeWine made a bargain by releasing his own set of guidelines for minors that prohibit trans surgeries. Despite, the legislature overrode the governor’s veto in a law that ’s now being challenged in court.
A panel of state lawmakers has now approved his principle that, along party lines, forbids adolescents from having sex surgeries.
The concept, which some testified against on Monday, went beyond the purview of state authority and caused confusion among healthcare professionals regarding the legal status of transgender Ohioans.
That’s harmful, since trans people experience a greater risk of suicide.
