A Franklin County judge ruled on Tuesday that an Ohio ban on the medical transition of minors, and a ban on transgender-identified males in women and girls’ sports, will go into effect immediately.
The ruling enables House Bill 68 (HB68), the Saving Adolescents from Experimentation (SAFE) Act, to be enacted more than three months after it was scheduled to go into effect on April 24, 2024.
The bill was passed in January 2024 after Ohio politicians heard from victims of childhood medical transition, including Prisha Mosely. Mosley, then 25, described the horrific physical and emotional impacts of the medical transition she started at 15 years old, including a double mastectomy and the lifelong impacts of taking testosterone, including constant pain and genital atrophy.
After HB68 passed, a lawsuit to thwart the legislation–funded by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU)– was filed on behalf of two families with transgender-identified children in March. Judge Michael Holbrook, who released Tuesday’s decision, placed the bill on hold pending his ruling. This move was criticized at the time by Republican Attorney General Dave Yost, who argued that the bill should have gone into effect despite the lawsuit.

England’s Cass Review of the medical transition of minors showed that not only is there no consensus on the best clinical approach to care, there is also poor to no evidence backing the medical transition of minors.
