Ohio's #transgender youth ban passed committee.
It mandates "gender exploratory therapy," (conversion therapy) and bans medical care.
The new bill demands that to even receive MENTAL healthcare, a therapist must "screen" for causes of being trans. Here are the proposed "causes":
- ADHD
- Autism
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Physical, Mental, and Emotional Abuse
- Trauma
- "Any other mental condition"

@DavidKMresists Exactly. My wife has trauma, My bestie has trauma. They're definitely not trans.
It seems there is a "Christian" group pushing the "transgender isn't legitimate - it is a manifestation of other mental issues" narrative. And conveniently, they claim their "exploratory therapy" program can take care of it.
It's grift disguised as medicine turned into law. How GOP of them.
@Graci I really hate my state!
@John_Ripley I had never heard this! Thanks.
@Graci 😳 I've got a full house of those but I can guarantee none of those MADE me trans. 🤦♀️ What next 'shocking reports show all trans people have noses - Doctors say noses cause transgenderism'
@Trans_Feminist_Fox Cut off your nose to spite Trump's base?
@Trans_Feminist_Fox *AUDIBLE GASP*
@Graci I hate it here. 😞

@Graci Seems like they skimmed over the actual cause...

@Lucky188 prezactly!
@Graci even if a therapist thought any of those causes were possible causes for being trans, wouldn't that mean that 98% of humans are really trans? Most people have at least one of those issues.
