This is going to be a long, hard battle. Not every Republican has the will to stand up to the gender ideologues, including those in the medical establishment.
Ohio’s Republican governor has vetoed legislation that would have barred transgender youth from receiving gender-affirming care, he said Friday.
Signing the bill would “be saying that the state, the government” knows what’s better for youth than their parents, Gov. Mike DeWine said.
State lawmakers passed House Bill 68 just before the holiday break.
The legislation would have prohibited gender-affirming care for trans and nonbinary youth, including hormone blockers, hormone replacement therapy, medical or surgical procedures and some mental health services.
