Transgender

A transgender candidate vying for a seat in the Republican-majority Ohio House is now cleared to run after her certification was called into question.

Later this month, the Ohio Senate could override Gov. Mike DeWine’s veto and ban some healthcare for transgender children and bar transgender girls from some sports. That would leave families with transgender kids one fewer state where gender-affirming care is legal.

Gov. Mike DeWine said he's proceeding with administrative rules on health care provided to trans kids regardless of whether his veto is overridden.

There are four candidates who had filed to run as Democrats for the Ohio House this year who are trans, and two of them have faced challenges over their petitions based on their names.

On Friday, Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine vetoed a bill passed in December by his fellow Republicans that would limit certain medical care for trans kids and ban them from competing on girls' sports teams.

Gov. Mike DeWine announced Friday morning he’d rejected the bill, leaving the question of whether lawmakers will override his veto.

Ohio lawmakers voted Wednesday to both ban transgender youth from school athletics and limit their access to medical care related to their gender identity.
