Ohio bans transgender drugs and surgery for children under 18 and blocks trans kids from participating in girls' sports

Ohio has outlawed transgender drugs and surgery for children under the age of 18 and blocked trans youngsters from participating in girls' sports.
The state's legislature today overrode the Governor and approved the ban that prohibits doctors from prescribing puberty blockers, hormone therapy and gender surgery for minors with gender dysphoria.
The bill will come into force in the next 90 days, with doctors who continue to provide care for minors risking losing their medical licenses.
The bill had originally been vetoed by Republican Governor Mike DeWine - but his intervention was overridden when a majority in the state's GOP-controlled House and Senate voted to overturn the veto.
Ohio has become the 23rd state to ban transgender care for minors, amid a wave of laws passed by Republican-controlled legislatures in recent years. It is also the 24th to outlaw trans girls from participating in sports at the high school and college level.
