The Ohio house voted to override Governor Mike DeWine’s veto of a bill that would criminalize hormonal treatment and surgeries in minors for the purposes of gender transition, and prevent boys from competing in girls’ sports divisions.

You might think it is perfectly fair and defensible — even laudable — to oppose mutilating children through supposed “treatments” that might render them incapable of experiencing sexual satisfaction and destroy their fertility. Of course, there is a less dramatic reason to criminalize such radical measures being performed on a person of any age: No amount of drugs and incisions can transform a person’s sex.
