https://www.axios.com/2023/12/29/ohio-republican-dewine-trans-care-sports-ban-veto Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine (R) vetoed a bill on Friday that would have prevented minors from receiving gender-affirming health care and restricted transgender girls' ability to participate on school sports teams.
Why it matters: DeWine is now just one of two Republican governors who have vetoed restrictions on gender-affirming care and among a few who have rejected bills that would constrain trans athletes.
>Former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson vetoed a similar gender-affirming care bill in 2021, while Utah Gov. Spencer Cox (R) and Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb (R) rejected bans on trans athletes last year.
Catch up quick: The bill was sponsored by state Rep. Gary Click, a Baptist pastor and supported by religious groups and a swimmer who competed against a trans athlete in college.
>Opponents included various medical organizations, children's hospitals and LGBTQ+ rights groups.
DeWine has previously said the issue of trans sports participation should be handled by athletic associations rather than the government.
>There are only a handful of trans athletes in Ohio that would've been impacted by the law out of approximately 400,000 athletes in 7th-12th grade sports, according to the Ohio Capital Journal.
What they're saying: DeWine said in a press conference on Friday that before vetoing the bill, he spoke with several different people with a wide range of opinions on gender-affirming care.
>They included doctors who provide the care and doctors who oppose it, people who have received such care and had positive and negative experiences and parents who believe their children were saved by gender-affirming care.
>DeWine said he concluded that most decisions on gender-affirming care should be made by parents informed by doctors who are advising them.

"This bill would impact a very small number of Ohio's children," DeWine said. "But for those children who face gender dysphoria and for their families, the consequences of this bill could not be more profound."

>>1251467 yes please castrate kids and utterly destroy them before they're even of age so that familyline of filth stops breeding. I support gender change because it means less of YOU in the future.

>>1251636 Yeah, because they're actively encouraging parents to cut off the dicks of their kids.
That's not a normal opinion to have, retard. You're a weirdo, that's why people criticize you.

>>1251635 No one is cutting off their child's dick. Well, except parents that circumcise their child, but I don't see you crusading against that.

>>1251985 >IT JUST IS, OKAY obviously it is. millions of children have the procedure done every year and never think about it again until they hear chuds like you seething about it.

>>1252084 Which people are cutting their kids dicks off? Got any amount of names that make a statistical difference?
I say this because there are extremists across the board. Vegans starving their children, kids in cults, you know, rare occurrences that have zero impact on society as a whole.
I doubt you'll provide any meaningful numbers or evidence that justify you being as outraged as you think you are.
Just a parrot in your echo chamber.
