Ohio House Republicans voted 65-28 Wednesday to override Republican Gov. Mike DeWine’s veto of a controversial bill targeting transgender youth.

House Bill 68 bans transgender youth from accessing gender-affirming care, including puberty blockers and hormone therapy and prevents transgender athletes from playing women’s sports.

“What annoys me the most is how wrong the sponsors of this bill are,” 10-year-old trans Ohian Astrid Burkle said after Wednesday’s vote. “I’m not a transsexual, scary person who’s going to do these awful things to myself. I’m just a normal 10-year-old girl who’s nervous about a math test at school.”

Burkle’s parents, Alicia and Aaron Burkle, said the override dashed the glimmer of hope they had after Gov. DeWine vetoed the bill on Dec. 29.

“I had hoped that maybe they would have been able to see the people and set aside the politics and nonsense. But they’ve shown yet again that they don’t really care about the people,” Alicia Burkle said.

The Burkles, like many parents of trans kids in the state, worry anti-trans legislation will force their family out of Ohio into states where gender affirming care is accessible and schools that provide a safe and accepting learning environment.

Kat Scaglione talked to her two trans children about the possibility of leaving. Last year, Scaglione pulled them both out of one Ohio school district over its anti-trans policies.

“My kids are finally away from this legislation looming over them,” she said. “They’re having a really good year and found supportive people. They’re doing well in school and I’d hate to rip all these things away from them again,” she said.

The results of Wednesday’s vote fell along party lines, with Republicans voting overwhelmingly in favor of an override.

The bill’s primary sponsor, Republican Rep. Gary Click, suggested another executive order be issued to prevent the distribution of HRT and puberty blockers within the next 90 days.

Click had anticipated the override. “Today is the day,” he wrote on social media Wednesday, ahead of the afternoon hearings. “My staff just informed me that the calls to override the veto represent the highest organic input that we have ever received. In just over 24 hours, we will fulfill their demands,” he wrote Tuesday.

“This is about ideology and giving power to those individuals who think transgender individuals should not have the same rights as the rest of us. The impact of this cannot be overstated,” Democratic Rep. Beth Liston said in hearings preceding Wednesday’s vote. Liston apologized on behalf of her colleagues for not being able to protect trans youth in the state from the impending override.

Liston and other house Democrats urged Republicans to stay DeWine’s veto. Several noted that gender-affirming care is life-saving for youth.

Wednesday’s override comes on the heels of an executive order and two new administrative rules signed by DeWine. The executive order would require patients of all ages seeking gender-affirming care to obtain the “care and supervision” of a team of medical providers, from endocrinologists and psychiatrists to bioethicists — specialists who are few and far between in the state’s hospitals — as well as undergo “lengthy” mental health counseling. The restrictions also prohibit most primary care providers from providing hormone treatments to transgender people of any age.

DeWine’s proposed administrative rules include permission for the collection of non-identifying data of gender dysphoria cases, and a crackdown on “fly-by-night” clinics that don’t provide enough mental health counseling.

The ACLU of Ohio described these new rules as a “de facto ban on transgender care.”

The bill will now head over to Ohio’s Republican-held Senate. Should both chambers pass the override measure, HB 68 would go into effect 90 days after the final vote. The Senate is in session Jan. 24.
