The SAFE Act, HB454, prohibits specific medical coverage for LGBTQ+ youth, specifically trans or nonbinary people.
COLUMBUS, Ohio — A federal judge in Arkansas blocked a similar controversial bill in July, but the Save Adolescents from Experimentation Act had its first hearing in the Ohio Statehouse Thursday morning.
In short, the bill would prevent gender-affirming care by no longer allowing doctors or other healthcare workers to provide medical procedures, hormone blockers or cross-sex hormones for trans youth. It would also require counselors to tell parents about what the child says in therapy. Healthcare workers who continue to provide this care would have their license removed and can be sued. Public funding would be taken away from institutions that help transgender young people.
Turan has suffered from suicidal ideation and self-harm, much like the majority of trans youth. About 52% of all-trans and nonbinary youth in the country seriously contemplated killing themselves in 2020, according to a study done by The Trevor Project. When questioned by his fellow colleague Representative Sedrick Denson on his “qualifications on overruling all of [doctors’] expertise,” he skirted the question and said it was a collaboration of experts.
“I have to pause and make sure that we correct some misinformation,” she said. “The American College of Pediatricians is a socially conservative advocacy group of one to two hundred pediatricians, as opposed to the American Association of Pediatrics, the AAP, which is the professional organization of tens of thousands of pediatricians for whom gender-affirming care is the standard of care.”
Liston went on to say that he wants to criminalize mainstream care based on small groups of outlier statements, which is what Turan believes.
