children who mentally are one gender trapped in a body of the other gender, are unable to get care for their kids.&nbsp;&nbsp;The \u201cstate\u201d decided that those kids don\u2019t deserve care until they reach adulthood.&nbsp;&nbsp;The problem is:&nbsp;&nbsp;many of those kids might not reach adulthood.&nbsp;&nbsp;Suicide \u201cideation\u201d among teenagers with gender dysphoria is high; they might not live to make decisions as adults (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/us-news\/2022\/dec\/16\/us-trans-non-binary-youth-suicide-mental-health\">Guardian<\/a>).&nbsp;&nbsp;But the leaders of Florida, who spout about the \u201cright of parents\u201d when it comes to education, have no problems taking away the rights of parents to make the best medical decisions for their children.&nbsp;&nbsp;Instead, the \u201cstate\u201d knows what\u2019s best \u2013 and somehow, they don\u2019t see the contradiction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ohio<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Texas and Florida are in the headlines, for restricting abortion rights and parental choices.&nbsp;&nbsp;But somehow, Ohio seems to get a big political \u201cpass\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sure, Ohio was a big deal last month.&nbsp;&nbsp;The voters, in a huge turnout of 49.7% in an off-off year election, voted for a State Constitutional amendment protecting the right of women to control health care, including abortions.&nbsp;&nbsp;The Republican leaders of the state from the Governor on down, including the Secretary of State who controls the election apparatus; all campaigned against the Amendment.&nbsp;&nbsp;But 57% of Ohioans still came out in support, and now those same leaders are struggling to find ways to curtail the scope of the change.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But this week, the same leaders got some \u201cpayback\u201d.&nbsp;&nbsp;The state legislature passed the \u201cSave Adolescents from Experimentation\u201d Act, the \u201cSAFE\u201d Act.&nbsp;&nbsp;It makes children \u201csafe\u201d from parents allowing their gender dysphoric child to choose medical care affirming their gender, just like Florida.&nbsp;&nbsp;On the floor of the State Senate, you heard Senators decrying the \u201ccastration\u201d and \u201cmutilation\u201d of teenagers.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fake News<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>But that\u2019s not what happens here in Ohio (or pretty much anywhere else in the Nation).&nbsp;&nbsp;The medical care for gender dysphoric children consists of hormone therapy and mental health assessments.&nbsp;&nbsp;Surgical interventions aren\u2019t done here in Ohio.&nbsp;&nbsp;As Nick Lashutka, spokesman for Ohio Children\u2019s Hospital Association noted, \u201cChildren\u2019s hospitals in Ohio do not perform surgeries on minors for the condition of gender dysphoria\u201d(&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbc4i.com\/\">NBC4<\/a>).&nbsp;&nbsp;But that\u2019s the \u201cfake news\u201d, the specter of surgery used to justify the \u201cSafe\u201d Act.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make no mistake, our grandfatherly Governor will sign the bill.&nbsp;&nbsp;And he\u2019ll make some statement about protecting children.&nbsp;&nbsp;But what he\u2019s really doing is taking away parents\u2019 rights to choose what\u2019s best for their child.&nbsp;&nbsp;And he\u2019ll do it with the high and mighty justification that the \u201cstate\u201d knows better.&nbsp;&nbsp;This isn\u2019t really about what\u2019s \u201cbest\u201d for those few children (Ohio hospitals have served about 3,300 individuals in ten years whose first appointment at a gender clinic took place when they were under eighteen &#8211;&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbc4i.com\/\">NBC4<\/a>).&nbsp;&nbsp;It\u2019s about the MAGA Republicans that still control the laws, enforcing their minority views.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Punish the Few<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s an average of 330 kids out of 2.5 million in the state \u2013\u00a0\u00a0.0132%.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Ohio isn\u2019t \u201cprotecting\u201d those kids, they aren\u2019t getting \u201cSAFE\u201d.\u00a0\u00a0They\u2019re faced with a loss of care, and a future that requires them to suffer, or leave the state.\u00a0\u00a0But it\u2019s the politically \u201cright\u201d (in the left v right way) thing to do, and that\u2019s what Ohio is all about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The same state Senate is now weighing-in on transgendered girls.\u00a0\u00a0The State is telling those very few who want to participate in school sports, they can\u2019t.\u00a0\u00a0The Senate presents some \u201cvision\u201d of a fully developed \u201cmale\u201d beating all the girls on the basketball court, or in the pool, or on the track.\u00a0\u00a0But here\u2019s the facts. In Ohio, 350,000 kids annually participate in high school sports.\u00a0\u00a0Last year, six, just six, transgendered kids participated in girls\u2019 sports.\u00a0\u00a0That\u2019s .004%.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0And over the last eight years, there was a total of nineteen (10 middle school, 9 high school) in girls\u2019 sports.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sins of Ohio<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>They aren\u2019t State Champions.&nbsp;&nbsp;They\u2019re kids trying to \u201cfit in\u201d and be as normal as they can be, in a world that isn\u2019t allowing them to live normal lives.&nbsp;&nbsp;But the powers that be in the state are demanding they be \u201couted\u201d as \u201cbiologic males\u201d, and forced to participate as boys, or not at all.&nbsp;&nbsp;It\u2019s just another way to energize their political base, instead of doing what\u2019s right for those few children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The saddest part is there\u2019s little outcry, other than from those directly impacted.&nbsp;&nbsp;Ohioans, and the Nation, just let it \u201croll\u201d.&nbsp;&nbsp;Ohio\u2019s not Texas, and not Florida. DeWine (the Governor) or DeRose (the Secretary of State) aren\u2019t running for President.&nbsp;&nbsp;But the \u201csins\u201d of Ohio are just as bad.&nbsp;&nbsp;We are letting politics determine the present and future lives of the kids that need the most protection.&nbsp;&nbsp;The last thing they need is \u201cthe State\u201d telling them, and their parents, how to live.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Texas and Florida Folks in Texas and the Nation are outraged.&nbsp;&nbsp;A woman carrying a fetus with a terminal defect, is required to carry to full term, even though the fetus is 90%&nbsp;likely to be still-born, and 100% likely to die in the first few months.&nbsp;&nbsp;And, despite the fact that the birth is likely to destroy &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/dahlman.online\/index.php\/2023\/12\/14\/the-sins-of-ohio\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;The Sins of Ohio&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6845","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
