The move is a stunning blow to proponents of gender affirming care bans and shows that there may be cracks in the Republican Party's strategy on targeting trans youth.

    It’s incredible to me how many republicans have been happily giving their rights away in the name of boogeymen.

    Abortion isn’t about abortion, it’s about bodily autonomy. You don’t want to government to force a vaccine in you, or sterilize you or…? Well, don’t give them precedent by letting them force half the population to do things with their bodies against their will.

    If being a decent person isn’t enough motivation, then support trans rights because they’re people making choices for themselves and you want that for yourself. Jesus. This should be a conservative position.

      Nah he’s just doing it so they write one they don’t think the courts will instantly strike down.

      And he’s still going to be doing what the bill was going to.

      DeWine announced his intention to use administrative processes to prohibit surgeries in the state and to gather data on transgender care for both youth and adults. However, the most concerning aspect of Gov. DeWine’s announcement was the potential for increased scrutiny of transgender adults in Ohio. The specifics of these administrative processes and rules are yet to be determined.
