Ohio becomes 23rd state to ban transgender drugs for children

has approved a ban on drugs and surgery for children under the age of 18 years — and a block on trans youngsters for participating in girls' sports.

The state's legislature today overrode the Governor's veto to clear a way for a ban on prescriptions of puberty blockers, hormone therapy and gender surgery for minors.

The bill will come into force in the next 90 days, with doctors who continue to provide care for minors risking losing their medical license.
