Ohio House passes controversial bills targeting transgender youth.

The Ohio House passed a bill that would ban gender-affirming care for trans and nonbinary youth, including hormone blockers, hormone replacement therapy (HRT), medical or surgical procedures and some mental health services. The bill also prevents trans kids from participating in athletics. Healthcare professionals who provide this care could lose their licenses and be sued. Medicaid would not cover gender-affirming procedures for minors. The bill goes to the Senate.
