Ohio Enacts Sweeping Restrictions on Transgender Healthcare and School Sports
TL;DR Summary
The Ohio Senate has overridden the governor's veto to pass a bill restricting transition-related medical care for transgender minors and trans athletes' participation in school sports teams, making Ohio the 22nd state with such restrictions. The bill also allows legal action against schools for trans students' participation in sports. Major medical associations oppose such bans, and the law has caused distress among trans families, with some planning to leave the state. The governor's announced administrative rules further complicate access to gender-affirming care for minors and trans adults.
