Ohio Fails to Protect American Children
Abandon the libertarian arguments and defend American children
The Republican governor of Ohio, Mike DeWine, has vetoed House Bill 62, legislation which would ban transgender medical procedures and transitioning practices from being visited upon the children of that state. To quote the governor:
"Were I to sign House Bill 68 ... Ohio would be saying that the state, that the government, knows better what is medically best for a child than the two people that love that child the most - the parents"
The Republican governor of a major red state is using a poor, abstract, and unjustifiable argument about “parental rights” to justify not intervening in the mutilation of children. The data is in from governments and health institutions which span the globe, transgender “medical care” is anything but and carries with it negative lifelong consequences.
According to the Scottish government puberty blockers have at best unknown and at worst detrimental effects on brain development.
People who undergo transgender 'treatments' are at remarkably high risk for osteoporosis. This risk increases as patients either misuse or cease using their medications, which is probable in a population with a serious mental illness rate of 58%. Even the Mayo Clinic, which is incredibly supportive of transgender ‘medical care’ has a list of side effects about how terrible these treatments are for the bone health of humans.
If damage to the brain and bones were not serious enough there is the fact that people who undergo sex-reassignment surgeries have a suicide rate 20 times higher than that of the general population. Additionally 82% of transgender people consider killing themselves and the rate of suicide attempts (which fail) is 8 times higher than among the general population.
52% of transgender adult Americans engage in some form of self harm, while the rate of self harm among the general adult population is just 5%.
Complication rates for so-called female-to-male transgender 'surgeries' range from 25% to 68%, with some studies showing complication rates as high as 75%. For some contrast, the rate of major complication in standard operations sits somewhere between 7%-15% most years.
In men undergoing male-to-female transgender 'surgeries' complications occur in as many as 70% of patients. While John Hopkins University admits there is no research thusfar to improve wound-care. Worse yet, these men pretending to be women often seek out the help of gynecologists, who have no way to treat them as the surgical wound between their legs is not a vagina.
Studies carried out by the Swedish government have concluded that there is insufficient evidence to justify the practice of gender 'transitioning', particularly among children. The United Kingdom also shut down its only children’s ‘gender clinic’ in 2022 after a commission into its practices and a review of the evidence found there was insufficient justification to continue carrying out transgender 'care' on children.
Governor DeWine and all politicians have a duty to protect children from dangerous medical practices which lead to lifelong complications and eventual death. DeWine is not defending any principle or parental right, he is harming children by allowing 'transgender care' to continue in Ohio.
More than 20 American states have banned transgender ‘care’ for minors, while the nation of Hungary has stopped allowing people to ‘change’ their gender both medically and legally.

Perhaps he has benefited in the past or will potentially in the future from the wealthy transexual cult? It appears the Republican party only exists as speed bumps in this system, lessening the outrage in the beginning and over time and eventually supporting it.
