The Ohio House passed a bill that would take away trans youth’s rights to health care and athletics.
In a 64-28 vote, the Republicans voted to pass anti-transgender bills during Pride Month.House Bill 68 would prohibit gender-affirming care for trans and nonbinary youth, including hormone blockers, hormone replacement therapy , medical or surgical procedures and some mental health services.
That research, though, has been called into question by experts, and it consists of testimonies from detransitioners, disgruntled parents , YouTube videos and articles from the 1980s that have been debunked or more recent pieces that have been widely criticized for being transphobic. The bill does more than just ban healthcare; it also prevents trans kids from participating in athletics.Along with requiring schools, state institutions of higher education and private colleges to designate separate single-sex teams and sports for each sex, H.B. 68 provides the opportunity for legal action.
"It only takes one male to capture a championship, one male to take a record that belonged to them," Sharp said.
