COLUMBUS- In a victory for transgender Ohioans and their families, the Supreme Court of Ohio has rejected a request by the state to narrow a temporary restraining order granted by a lower court blocking the state from enforcing its ban on gender-affirming medical care for trans youth.
On Wednesday, April 24, the American Civil Liberties Union, the ACLU of Ohio, and the global law firm Goodwin Procter filed a motion to intervene in the mandamus case, Yost v. Judge Holbrook. The legal organizations, representing two Ohio families whose children are at risk of losing critical life-saving medical care, urged the Ohio Supreme Court to deny the state’s emergency request that Judge Holbrook, of the Franklin County Court of Common Pleas, drastically narrow the scope of the temporary injunction he placed on House Bill 68.
The TRO, issued on April 16, blocks the ban on gender-affirming care for transgender youth and the ban on transgender girls and women participating on girls or women’s sports teams from taking immediate effect. In his emergency mandamus motion, Attorney General Yost claimed that the trial court lacked authority to enjoin enforcement of the constitutionally suspect statute.
Today’s decision by the court denies the state’s effort to narrow the scope of the TRO, and allows the case to proceed in the Franklin County Court of Common Pleas, where a trial is currently scheduled for July 15.
“This decision was correct. The state’s request was egregious. The scope of the temporary restraining order was necessary and appropriate to prevent the constitutional violations and other irreparable harm that would immediately occur if HB 68 were permitted to take effect. Our legal battle will continue until this cruel restriction is permanently overturned,” added Freda Levenson, Legal Director at the ACLU of Ohio.
“The state’s claim that this was an ‘emergency’ because it could not enforce an unconstitutional statute was utterly absurd. Far from creating an emergency, the challenged temporary injunction merely maintains the status quo in Ohio – that trans youth be permitted to access life-saving medical care with support from parents and doctors. We’re thankful the court did not allow the state to subvert the rights of trans youth and their families” said Harper Seldin, Senior Staff Attorney, American Civil Liberties Union.

Maybe now Mike DeWine, Dave Yost, and the Ohio GOP will leave medical care decisions in the hands of patients and providers, where they belong.
Good news. (On a personal level, now I don't have to worry about our out-of-state transgender grandkids, who are due to travel to the Buckeye state in the near future.)Maybe now Mike DeWine, Dave Yost, and the Ohio GOP will leave medical care decisions in the hands of patients and providers, where they belong.
I'm glad the OHIO Government didn't succeed in taking children or women's medial care away this year!!
I believe you have to be 18 for sex realignment surgery. Regardless, I assume all those questions were presented.When "childrens medical care" involves unnecessary castration, there are questions that probably should be asked IMO. Personally in this matter I am fine with deferring to a body like the AMA and not go with what politicians say.

The AMA, pediatricians, psychologists and psychiatrists supports gender affirming care for teens and adults.When "childrens medical care" involves unnecessary castration, there are questions that probably should be asked IMO.

In all fairness, IIRC Mike Dewine had vetoed this bill. Which was then overridden by Ohios Trumptard GQP legislature.
Thanks very much!Ahem
Governor DeWine’s Executive Order Is A De Facto Ban on Transgender Care - ACLU of Ohio
Following his veto of Ohio House Bill 68, a bill banning gender-affirming care for transgender people under 18, Governor Mike DeWine issued an executive order and proposed restrictions on care for transgender people that, in practice. The ACLU and the ACLU of Ohio condemned the proposal...www.acluohio.org

The chemical and then surgical castration is a very welcome part of transgender care if someone chooses to transition. They cannot effectively transition to the body that aligns with their gender idneity without stopping/blocking/removing the hormones that their body nature creates.
AMA strengthens its policy on protecting access to gender-affirming care
The American Medical Association (AMA) House of Delegates today passed the Endocrine Society’s resolution to protect access to evidence-based gender-affirming care for transgender and gender-diverse individuals.www.endocrine.org
How do you identify as a double amputee? Would that be a male or female double amputee?What if I identify as a double amputee?
Should a doctor lop my arms off for me if thats what I want?
This isn't - or, at least, at some time in the past, wasn't - so far out as some might think.What if I identify as a double amputee?
Should a doctor lop my arms off for me if thats what I want?
They might, but you could definitely get your kids a nose job, and or a boob job so they fit in at school with little trouble. Plastic surgery is common among teens in our country, people don't even bat an eye.What if I identify as a double amputee?

I'd see a psychologist for a diagnosis and then they can help you work on a treatment plan.

They bat an eye at this because they've been told to dislike queers.
"Confused" is your layman's opinion.We’re debating whether surgically or chemically castrating confused teens is a good idea.
The world gets dumber by the day.
This treatment protocol is what has been proved the most effective for both transgender adults and teens for the past 50+ years. Denying effective transgender care has deadly effects, even when they do survive suicide attempts because of the depression and dysphoria.We’re debating whether surgically or chemically castrating confused teens is a good idea.

You weren't and I know that, but "you" know MAGAs are. You're not that foolish. If you want to jump on this train, you're now taking the ride.I'm not so sure that nobody batted an eye as you say.
Anyone that allows their minor child to get a boob job and plastic surgery should be relieved of their children and imprisoned IMHO. Now of course a necessity is a different story such as to fix a deformity or disfigurement etc.
Uh huh. I remember being told that. I was told to dislike queers, and so I did. I do as I'm told.
Now for the Ohio GOP to quit trying to force women to carry ectopic pregnancies. No im never letting them live that shit down.Maybe now Mike DeWine, Dave Yost, and the Ohio GOP will leave medical care decisions in the hands of patients and providers, where they belong.
Good Gawd!! That's horrid!! My brain curdles thinking about these dudes in charge of my health.Heres how utterly despicable the Ohio GOP is (well most of them). When i called the guy sponsoring the ectopic pregnancy bill and told him several OBGYN professionals are saying this is not only impossible but deadly, the ****head little snake said hes got professionals that say its possible, guess who he pointed me to?
Some guy who tried to but failed 100 years ago! These people are utter demons.
