Original Note:
The headline misrepresents the legislation. It also banned puberty blockers which do not change a person's gender. https://www.statenews.org/2024-08-06/judge-upholds-ban-on-gender-affirming-care-for-minors-in-ohio-so-hb-68-will-go-into-effect The OHSAA already had policies in place to allow fairness in participation for transgender athletes. This bill was a ban, not protection for girls or women.: https://ohsaaweb.blob.core.windows.net/files/Eligibility/OtherEligibiltyDocs/TransgenderPolicy.pdf
