Ohio Governor DeWine has issued an executive order banning gender-transition surgeries for minors and called for new rules requiring a team of medical providers to be involved in prescribing gender-affirming care. This comes after he vetoed a bill that would have banned transgender minors from receiving puberty blockers, hormone therapy, and surgeries. The governor's move is seen as a compromise with Republican lawmakers, as the state's House of Representatives plans to vote on overriding his veto. The debate over medical care for transgender minors reflects a broader effort by the Republican Party to mobilize cultural conservatives around transgender issues.
