An Ohio court has overturned part of the state's law banning certain healthcare for transgender youth, allowing patients to again receive prescriptions like puberty blockers and hormone therapy drugs.

Trans people across the country, from teens to retirees, are eyeing moves to Illinois in the wake of anti-trans executive orders and legislation that puts their access to gender-affirming care at risk.

An Ohio appeals court on Tuesday blocked the state from enforcing a law banning the use of puberty-blocking drugs and hormones for gender transition in minors, finding it violated parents' rights to decide their children's medical treatment.

An Ohio appeals court declared Tuesday that a portion of a 2023 law banning gender-affirming medical care for minors is unconstitutional, ruling that a lower court erred in deciding the law does not infringe on the rights of parents or violate parts of the state’s constitution.
