The ACLU of Ohio and global law firm Goodwin have filed a lawsuit against part of a new law that bans gender-affirming care for transgender minors.
The lawsuit was filed in the Franklin County Court of Common Pleas and asks that the court strike down the ban on care before it goes into effect April 24.
on behalf of two families whose 12-year-old transgender daughters would lose access to gender-affirming health care. The lawsuit asks that the court strikes down the portion of House Bill 68 that prevents gender-affirming care before it goes into effect April 24. “The ban on gender-affirming care will cause severe harm to transgender youth,” Freda Levenson, ACLU of Ohio’s legal director said in a statement. “These personal, private medical decisions should remain between families and doctors; they don’t belong to politicians. We will fight in court to ensure that trans youth and their parents can access critically important, lifesaving healthcare without government intrusion.
The plaintiffs in the case are the Moe family and the Goe family. The Moe family lives in Hamilton County and their 12-year-old transgender daughter has a gender dysphoria diagnosis. The Goe family lives in with Franklin County with their 12-year-old transgender daughter who has a gender dysphoria diagnosis and is being monitored for the onset of puberty.
