The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) filed a lawsuit against Ohio Tuesday after state lawmakers passed a law banning transgender hormones and sex-change surgeries for minors.
The law, which is set to go into effect in April, bars doctors from performing sex-change surgeries and prescribing cross-sex hormones and puberty blockers to minors. The ACLU announced that they filed a lawsuit on behalf of two families with children who identify as transgender, arguing that they will lose access to “critical, medically necessary healthcare” if the law is allowed to go into effect, according to a press release.
