To: Sen. Dolan, Rep. Patton
From: A constituent in Rocky River, OH
January 24
The recent decision to override the veto on House Bill 68, which prohibits gender-affirming care for minors and restricts participation of transgender girls and women in sports, raises serious concerns. This legislation, expected to take effect in 90 days, disregards the rights and well-being of transgender youth. It is crucial to reconsider this decision, acknowledging the potential harm it could cause to a vulnerable group. Requesting an urgent review of this legislation, with a focus on inclusivity and respect for individual identities. The importance of providing all young people with equal opportunities and access to healthcare cannot be overstated.
