Ohio backs off proposed restrictions on gender-affirming care for adults

Republican Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine's administration has reversed plans to impose rules that would have restricted gender-affirming medical treatment for adults, after concerns were raised by advocates.

Over the past few years, 21 states have enacted laws limiting gender-affirming care for minors, and only Florida has implemented restrictions on care for adults.
