Sponsor Rep. Gary Click answered questions about the legislation that would ban care widely supported and endorsed by the medical community
Ohio House Bill 68, the proposed Save Adolescents From Experimentation Act, drew a crowd and debate Tuesday in its first hearing before the Public Health Policy House Committee.
It would also prohibit Medicaid from covering gendering-affirming care and require mental health professionals to report the age, biological sex, comorbidities and number of minors they treat for gender-related conditions to the Department of Health every year. But some of Click's colleagues, and the general medical community, vehemently disagree. Advocates have said the bill is nothing but an assault on the trans and non-binary communities.
Click claimed he'd heard from people who regret transitioning, parents who felt pressured to get their children gender-affirming care, and doctors who have been pressured or intimidated to perform gender-affirming care. He also cited concerns of influence from the pharmaceutical industry to get minors to transition for financial gain and side effects sometimes caused by puberty blockers.
