We're not sure what Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine thought he was doing. The state legislature sent him a bill banning "gender-affirming care" for minors as well as banning biological males from participating on girls' sports teams, and DeWine, a Republican, vetoed it, knowing full well the House had the votes to override his veto.

He said the Ohio way was to "follow the evidence," and that decisions on gender-affirming care were best left up to the people who know best, the parents.

No one was happy with DeWine. Even after vetoing the bill, trans activists claimed that DeWine had crumbled against "domestic terrorism" by the anti-trans mob when he proposed restrictions on adult gender-affirming care, including "lengthy" waiting periods and a team including an "endocrinologist, bioethicist, and psychiatrist."

DeWine won over absolutely no one with this veto. Even trans activists thought he was gutless.
