The Ohio Supreme Court is considering the constitutionality of a state law banning gender-affirming care for transgender youth. The law, House Bill 68, was enacted in April 2024 and blocks hormone therapy and puberty blockers for minors. The court, composed of six Republicans and one Democrat, is expected to rule in the coming months. Lower courts have issued conflicting rulings on the matter. Families and doctors argue that such care is medically necessary and supported by major medical groups, while the state contends that kids do not have a constitutional right to these treatments due to potential risks and unknown long-term effects. The courts decision will impact access to care for transgender youth in Ohio and spark further debates nationwide.
