"Trans Families Flee Ohio Amid Trans Healthcare Ban Override"

Over 100 families with transgender members are planning to leave Ohio after Republicans overrode Gov. Mike DeWine's veto of a bill banning gender-affirming care, which includes hormone blockers, hormone replacement therapy, and surgical procedures for trans and nonbinary youth. LGBTQ+ advocates and families are concerned about the impact on trans children and adults, with some feeling unsafe and planning to relocate to more supportive states. The legislation has sparked criticism from liberal mayors and the ACLU, while Republicans argue that the bill protects children and parents from being pressured into healthcare decisions.
