Ohio Republicans Override Gov’s Veto Of Anti-Trans Bill

The Columbus Dispatch reports:

The Ohio House voted Wednesday to override Gov. Mike DeWine’s veto of legislation that would restrict medical care for transgender minors and block transgender girls from female sports.

House Bill 68, which DeWine struck down last month, would prevent doctors from prescribing hormones, puberty blockers or gender transition surgery before patients turn 18. It also would prohibit transgender girls and women from playing on female sports teams in high school and college.

Proponents say the measure would protect children and level the playing field for female athletes, but critics contend it’d harm an already vulnerable group of Ohioans. In vetoing the bill, DeWine said decisions about transgender medical care should be left to families and their physicians.
