This comes just a \u200bweek after DeWine vetoed a bill that would have banned all gender-affirming care for minors, including hormone\u2062 therapy and puberty blockers.<\/p>\n<p>At a news conference, DeWine stated, &#8220;I believe the parents, not the government, should be making these crucial decisions for their children.&#8221; This reiterates his decision to veto the broader ban and emphasizes the importance of parental involvement in such matters.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the executive order, DeWine expressed concern about\u2064 &#8220;fly-by-night&#8221; clinics\u2062 that offer hormone therapy\u200c to transgender adults\u200b without proper\u2064 psychiatric care. As a result, the Ohio Department of Health and Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services will develop new administrative guidelines for adults and minors seeking transition-related care.<\/p>\n<p>These guidelines will include the requirement of\u2064 informed consent from patients, ensuring that\u200c they are fully aware of the associated risks before proceeding with treatment. Patients will also\u200b be required\u2062 to \u2062undergo psychological counseling prior to starting hormone therapy or other treatments for gender dysphoria.<\/p>\n<p>The \u200cWorld Professional Association for Transgender Health, a nonprofit organization\u200d dedicated to transgender healthcare, generally discourages surgery for minors. However, when minors do undergo surgery, it is typically limited to a double mastectomy, \u200dalso known as top surgery. \u200cGenital\u200b surgery is not considered eligible for minors.<\/p>\n<p>To override the governor&#8217;s veto,\u2062 a three-fifths majority vote in the Ohio General Assembly, which is currently led by a Republican supermajority, would be required. The Ohio House plans to vote on\u200c the override when it reconvenes after its early winter break.<\/p>\n<p>In conclusion, Governor DeWine&#8217;s \u2062executive order prohibits transition-related surgeries for minors in Ohio,\u2064 while also recognizing the importance of parental involvement and proper\u200c psychiatric care in gender-affirming care. This decision aligns with the recommendations of professional organizations and aims to\u2062 protect the well-being of transgender individuals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ohio Governor Mike DeWine has now issued an executive order prohibiting hospitals from conducting gender-affirming surgeries on minors.
