There IS hope for Republicans to do the right thing!

Nah he's just doing it so they write one they don't think the courts will instantly strike down.

And he's still going to be doing what the bill was going to.

DeWine announced his intention to use administrative processes to prohibit surgeries in the state and to gather data on transgender care for both youth and adults. However, the most concerning aspect of Gov. DeWine's announcement was the potential for increased scrutiny of transgender adults in Ohio. The specifics of these administrative processes and rules are yet to be determined.

This is heart breaking considering that Cleveland Clinic is (was?) the go-to place for trans men to have top surgery. Dr. Medalie did my top surgery there in '10 and I traveled quite a way for him specifically.

This only confirms that there's one Republican who hasn't yet been completely ruined.

Oh no he's a shit bag. He's just a politically adebt shit bag. A lot of the Ohio legislature is culture warriors who have no clue how to govern our have political savvy. DeWine came up the ranks when Ohio was still purple and knows that his veto will be overridden but by vetoing the bill he can appear moderate when he tries for senate or something in 2028.

i.e., the old "good cop, bad cop" game

Glass half full papa. This means a whole state can help save lives in the future. 🩷

Even a broken clock is right twice a day. I agree this is good news, but we’ll be back to shit soon.
