Ohio Senate votes to override DeWine veto of healthcare bill, trans youth playing girls’ sports

COLUMBUS (WXIX) - Ohio’s Senate voted Wednesday to override Gov. Mike DeWine’s veto on a bill prohibiting transgender females from participating in girls’ sports and banning trans minors from obtaining gender-affirming care.

With the override vote, House Bill 68 will become law in 90 days.

Ohio would become the 24th state to ban trans athletes from participating in sports and one of 23 states with restrictions on gender-affirming care for trans minors, according to the Movement Advancement Project.

In a statement after the House vote, DeWine said he still believes it is in the best interests of children for medical decisions to be made by the child’s parents and not by the government.

Personally I think he's not being truthful.  The government is happy to step in and make medical decisions to replace children's parents in the cases of what they have historically termed abuse or neglect, etc.  or for instance - when states support schools not telling parents kids are talking about gender dysphoria - or when states say it's ok for kids to have abortions without anyone telling the parents.

Seems to me, you can't support parents making medical decisions and also make laws sayings it's ok not to tell parents thereby preventing them from having the opportunity to make those decisions.   Painting with a wide brush gets pretty messy.

24-8
24 people thinks it's ok, that boys, dressed like girls, play girls sports?

So females have to scratch and fight to play sports, they do not get paid the same, they do not get the same endorsments, or commercial time.
Example: Women's hockey (Team USA) Men's Hockey (Team USA).
Women WERE given 25.00 a day perdeium.
Men, 125.00
Women worked 2nd jobs to live
Men, endorsements.
Women, win the Gold medal ON THE REGULAR
Men, do NOT win, on the regular.

Finally, the women said 'even this out, or we will NOT play in the next gold medal round, and Canada will win".
So USA Hockey, FINALLY evened it out.
Men lost, women won the gold.

NCAA Basketball, last time they were in Indy, the news went into the women's workout room, looked at their "swag bags", looked at their meals.
Men had an amazing workout facility, their swag bags were worth over 500.00, and the food they were served was amazing.
Women? 1 rack of hand weights, a mirror, and a chin up bar. Their swag bag had bandaids, toothpaste, etc. Value? Under 50.00. Their food? Brown bag lunch, hard day old bagles for breakfast.
Once the media blasted this.........things changed. Why? Because they were caught.

Women in sports have to fight hard enough.
NOW we have to allow boys play our sports.
This is BS
