Ohio has banned gender-affirming care for minors and restricted transgender women’s and girls’ participation on sports teams, a move that has families of transgender children scrambling over how best to care for them.

The Republican-dominated Senate voted Wednesday to override GOP Gov. Mike DeWine’s veto. The new law bans gender-affirming surgeries and hormone therapies, and restricts mental health care for transgender individuals under 18. The measure also bans transgender girls and women from girls and women’s sports teams at both the K-12 and collegiate level.

    it does have to do why they’re reluctant to break it, though, for any progressive cause.

        they support the military industrial complex. Which is why Biden was so willing to expedite a certain genocidal maniac buying more bombs.

          They sure do. They don’t run on that because it’s unpopular. Democrats run on shit they never have any intention of implementing and then get in their own way to prevent it from happening.
