Ky ScheversUh, I just listened to the DeWine’s press conference after he vetoed HB 68 and he still plans to ban surgery for trans youth under 18, wants the state to collect data on trans youth and adults who transition, enforce counseling/therapy for children and adults before they can access transition and shut down informed consent clinics. This isn’t actually a victory. Not even close. Now the Ohio government plans to take more control over the healthcare of both trans youth and adults. This is why I say it’s important to fight both healthcare bans and gatekeeping. Both are threats to our autonomy and access to healthcare.
Like do you really want the government to start collecting data on every trans person who transitions? And this data will be reported to both the state and the public? What business does the state have forcing people to have therapy before they can make decisions about their bodies?
