Minors in Ohio would be prohibited from taking puberty blockers and undergoing other hormone therapies or receiving gender reassignment surgery in an effort to further align them with their gender identity.
Should the bill become law, doctors who violate it could lose their licenses to practice if they provide care other than verbal therapy for transgender children. Transgender children currently undergoing hormone therapies would have to stop treatment or leave the state to receive it elsewhere.
But parents of transgender children say that their kids’ medical care is none of the Legislature’s business. They point out that major cosmetic surgeries for minors such as breast implants and liposuction are legal for minors in Ohio with parental consent. And as a parent, Roblyer says he has the right to create that care team and make decisions for his child — just like he has the right to decide where his kids go to school, go to church or what they read.
