TL;DR

Ohio Governor Mike DeWine issued an executive order immediately banning gender-transition surgeries for minors, a week after vetoing a broader bill that would have restricted transgender youth from receiving various forms of gender-affirming care. DeWine believes that medical decisions for children should be made by parents, not the government. The order comes amid a wave of anti-LGBTQ legislation in various states, contrasting with protective measures in Democratic-led states. The Ohio Department of Health and the Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services will establish new rules for transition-related care after a public comment period.
