People facing long waits for NHS weight loss services could be taking matters into their own hands by buying potentially unsafe jabs online, the nation’s top GP has warned. Professor Kamila Hawthorne, chairwoman of the Royal College of GPs, warned some people are putting themselves at risk by purchasing drugs online from unregulated retailers, as well as potentially missing out on wraparound support needed alongside the medication. She also raised concerns about the safety of cheaper alternatives to the pre-filled injection pens which involve people preparing part of the medicine at home. It comes as the medicines regulator warned against buying weight loss medicines without a prescription on social media or through beauty salons. The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) urged people to be aware of fake pharmacy websites and social media posts offering weight-loss medicines illegally without a prescription. It warned criminals will go to “great lengths” to make their businesses appear “authentic” and the products they are selling could potentially contain “toxins and other ingredients that could cause real harm”. Andy Morling, MHRA’s deputy director of criminal enforcement, said: “At this time of year, with many of us thinking about shedding a little excess weight, we see people offering weight loss medicines for sale as a quick fix, without a healthcare professional’s prescription, from beauty salons, websites and on social media. “These are not cosmetic treatments; they are powerful medicines that can only be legally and safely dispensed against a prescription issued by a healthcare professional. “Fake pharmacy websites and social media sellers illegally supply medicines that are not approved for use in the UK. These may contain toxins and other ingredients that could cause real harm, and you may even end up in hospital.” Meanwhile, Prof Hawthorne said the population is “gradually getting bigger and bigger” and has called on the Government to improve existing weight reduction services by ensuring they are properly resourced and have enough staff to meet demand. She urged people to reach out for help from their GPs before turning to the internet to buy drugs online. In an interview with the PA news agency, Prof Hawthorne said: “I think quite a lot of people are buying weight loss drugs privately. “We do have some serious concerns about that, because you don’t always know the provenance of the drugs that you’re buying unless it’s coming from an accredited company that’s properly regulated, and some of these places are not fully regulated. “So I think I would definitely be counselling the public not to do that privately, if they can possibly help it, and go to their GP.” Prof Hawthorne added that patients may not be getting appropriate wraparound care when they purchase the drugs online. The vast public and political interest in new weight loss drugs has made urgent action to address longstanding issues across the entire range of treatment services an unavoidable priority. We are pleased to see so much media interest in the report https://t.co/ff1gHmHuZf — Obesity Health Alliance (@OHA_updates) October 16, 2024 She continued: “The place where I’m working we are referring people to weight loss clinics, but there’s a very long wait. “In the meantime, we’re talking about what else they can be doing to lose weight.” Asked if the long wait for weight management services could be turning people to buying drugs online, she said: “Yes, I’m sure that they do. “If you’re faced with a two-year waiting time and you want to lose weight now, and you know that there is a way that you can lose weight, you know that drug works because nobody’s denying that they don’t work, you might well decide that you’re going to just sort it out yourself. “I would definitely suggest that you come and talk to your doctor or practice nurse about what you’re intending to do and let them help you – they may know ways of helping you that you haven’t thought about. “So definitely come and talk about it. Please don’t go off and buy a (weight-loss injection) unless it is under the supervision of a medically qualified doctor.” Prof Hawthorne went on: “We are as a population gradually getting bigger and bigger, and that brings with it a huge amount of chronic illness. “We are calling on the Government to improve the services for weight reduction.” A recent Obesity Health Alliance report highlighted how some patients are being asked to wait for up to five years for specialist weight management support. Some overweight and obesity management services are so overstretched that they have closed their waiting lists entirely. The alliance claimed the provision of services is “insufficient and unavailable to a significant number of people”. Katharine Jenner, director of the Obesity Health Alliance, told PA: “Weight loss medications offer hope of tangible improvements in the lives of people with severe, chronic obesity. “However, these drugs are only safe and effective for those for whom they are medically appropriate, as prescribed by a legitimate prescriber, and are not a long-term solution for the millions of people living with obesity.” Today we are joining @OHA_updates in calling for an urgent review of how obesity is treated in @NHSEngland . Their new report warns new pharmaceutical treatments have caused a wave of demand, adding enormous pressure to already over stretched services: https://t.co/5dP4mZMIVa pic.twitter.com/M2gurXIA2c — The BMA (@TheBMA) October 16, 2024 Earlier this year, NHS England chief executive Amanda Pritchard said “weight loss drugs will be a game-changer”, but “without transforming pathways they could overwhelm already-stretched services”. Obese people have been told they “will have to wait” for the so-called King Kong of weight-loss jabs, Mounjaro, amid a carefully managed NHS rollout, which spans 12 years. In the initial three years of its rollout, an estimated 220,000 people could benefit from the drug, out of around 3.4 million people estimated to be eligible. Those with the highest need will be front of the queue and NHS officials have pledged to review the rollout after the initial phase. The latest Health Survey for England shows 64% of adults were overweight or obese in 2022. A Department of Health and Social Care spokesperson said: “Obesity can be debilitating, costing lives, the economy and the NHS. “The introduction of the weight loss drugs to the NHS will ensure that those with the most need will receive treatment first. “Where appropriate, these obesity drugs can greatly benefit those in real need. “However, we recognise these drugs are not a replacement for a good diet and exercise and as part of our 10 Year Health Plan we will shift the focus of healthcare from sickness to prevention.”As the climate changes, so too should our expectations of nature — and just how much it will put up with. Take so-called carbon sinks. This term refers to reservoirs, natural or otherwise, that absorb more carbon dioxide than they emit, helping to regulate the Earth’s temperature and keep the worst outcomes of climate change at bay. Forests and plants, soils and the ocean all do this vital yet underappreciated work. But they have their limit, and last year demonstrated that. In a typical year, forests and land absorb about 30 per cent of the carbon emissions we release. However, in 2023, the warmest year on record, land-based carbon sinks soaked up almost zero CO2 as a net category, according to from a team of international researchers that was recently highlighted by . The severity of droughts and wildfires experienced last year, particularly here in Canada, helps to explain the drop-off in carbon absorption: droughts diminish the land’s capacity for carbon uptake, while fires transform a forest from a CO2 sponge into a tail pipe. “The sudden collapse of carbon sinks was not factored into climate models — and could rapidly accelerate global heating,” Patrick Greenfield, The Guardian’s biodiversity and environment reporter. The reaction to this research among climate watchers was swift. Many fretted over the prospect of an accelerated climate crisis. , noting that 2023 coincided with an extreme El Nino, which typically brings warmer and drier weather, increasing the likelihood of drought and fires. So, just how worried should we be? Ahead of COP29, which , the Star asked climate scientist Damon Matthews for his two cents. Matthews is a professor at Concordia University and the co-creator of the , a digital countdown that shows how much time is left before human-driven CO2 emissions push global temperatures past a 1.5 degrees C increase over pre-industrial levels, the threshold agreed upon in the 2015 Paris Climate Accords. , scientists predict even more extreme weather, pressures on agriculture and access to water, an increased risk of insect-borne disease and more. The clock currently says we’re six years away from crossing that red line if current trends continue. And there’s no sign they won’t. We should be much more worried that we haven’t decreased our emissions. Fundamentally, if we don’t decrease our emissions really fast none of the other pieces are going to matter. So fire is really important, and that’s one of the reasons we need to decrease our emissions, because there is a limit to the earth’s capacity to absorb the carbon we put into the atmosphere ... The biggest reason for concern is that we’re still cutting down the Amazon forests and in Canada, we’re still cutting down forests that otherwise would be absorbing carbon from the atmosphere. And to me, from a climate perspective, it’s a much bigger concern than the extent of forest fires in a particular year ... and that’s something we can control. There is a tendency to think of the boreal forest or Canada’s ecosystems as a contribution to climate mitigation. And I think (with) the immediate implication of increasing fire severity in Canada, that argument falls apart ... We’re not going to achieve our net zero target by 2050 by relying on Canada’s forests to absorb carbon ... In order to reach that target, we need to decarbonize the energy system. And if we don’t do that, whatever happens with the landmass is not even going to make a dent in our emissions. And so part of the upshot of this story, and also the wildfire trends over the last decade, is that it’s more and more the case that the net carbon balance of Canada’s land mass is not going to be helpful in achieving that net zero. And probably by the time we get to 2050, it may actually be a source of carbon rather than a sink. The short answer is no. We do have conservation targets in Canada. And there is a recognition that conserving forests is important, and (addressing) climate (change) is a part of that rationale. I think those targets are more related to biodiversity targets than climate targets probably. So, I don’t think there’s a lot of understanding that any kind of disturbance in the forest system is going to lead to less carbon in that system. And that the number one disturbance is actually human activity, not forest fires. Meeting the would be a good start. I think acknowledging and empowering Indigenous governance of land would be another really good step in the right direction. Recognizing that any industrial operation that occurs in a forested landscape is going to affect the carbon of that landscape, and that should be measured and reported and acknowledged. I mean the oil sands in Alberta is having a pretty negative effect on carbon sink capacity, totally aside from all of the oil being brought out. On balance, I haven’t seen any evidence that models are out to lunch in terms of how they’re representing land carbon uptake (which is) . And also land carbon uptake is only one piece of the climate picture in general. I think it’s a difficult question because there is a tendency for the news media to take a lot of individual scientific findings and say, ‘This is the thing that’s going to convince the world that we need to take climate change seriously.’ And partly because it’s so hard to get the world to take climate change seriously. And so I support that because we do need to take climate change seriously. At the same time, the fact that 2023 year was a bad year for land carbon uptake does not mean that the world is collapsing. Even if the world might be collapsing. It’s not because of that. That’s just the latest symptom. Absolutely. We should also be heeding warnings that the world’s coral reefs are at the verge of collapse because of warming ocean temperatures and that hurricanes are getting stronger and stronger over time because of warmer ocean temperatures. Even if you live in your little Canadian bubble and all you can talk about is hockey, you should be really concerned that we’re not gonna be able to skate outdoors in Canada within 20 years. It’s very expensive and very hard to do at any scale right now. Most people who talk about carbon removal see this as a multi-decadal process of building the capacity and the technologies. And at some point, later in the century, we might be able to compensate for those emissions that we are not able to get rid of through decarbonization. We would have to have an entirely parallel energy system devoted only to carbon removal to absorb all of our emissions. It’s the most simple and it’s generally the cheapest option. Certainly, the only certain solution ... We don’t really know how to prevent the land from emitting carbon very well ... But we do know that if we decommission all of the coal plants in Canada and replace them with solar and wind, that is going to decrease emissions. We know that. And so why not just do that instead of worrying about all the other stuff that’s a lot harder. It is sometimes, yeah.genie perfume 。

Several members of Donald Trump's incoming administration have received threats including bomb alerts, the FBI said Wednesday, with one nominee reporting a pipe-bomb scare sent with a pro-Palestinian message. "The FBI is aware of numerous bomb threats and swatting incidents targeting incoming administration nominees and appointees, and we are working with our law enforcement partners," the agency said in a statement. Swatting refers to the practice in which police are summoned urgently to someone's house under false pretenses. Such hoax calls are common in the United States and have seen numerous senior political figures targeted in recent years. Karoline Leavitt, a spokeswoman for Trump's transition team, earlier said that several appointees and nominees "were targeted in violent, unAmerican threats to their lives and those who live with them." Elise Stefanik, a Trump loyalist congresswoman tapped to be UN ambassador, said her residence in New York was targeted in a bomb threat. She said in a statement that she, her husband, and small son were driving home from Washington for the Thanksgiving holiday when they learned of the threat. Lee Zeldin, Trump's pick to lead the Environmental Protection Agency, said his home was targeted with a pipe bomb threat sent with a "pro-Palestinian themed message." The former congressman from New York said he and his family were not home at the time. Fox News Digital quoted unidentified sources saying that John Ratcliffe, Trump's nominee to head the CIA, and Pete Hegseth, the defense secretary pick, were also targeted. Ahead of his return to the House in January, Trump has already swiftly assembled a cabinet of loyalists, including several criticized for a severe lack of experience. The Republican, who appears set to avoid trial on criminal prosecutions related to attempts to overturn his 2020 election loss, was wounded in the ear in July in an assassination attempt during a campaign rally. The shooter was killed in counter-fire. In September, authorities arrested another man accused of planning to shoot at Trump while he played golf at his course in West Palm Beach, Florida. bur/sms/bjtCustomers who don’t update their energy plans are paying about $317 more a year than those who shop around, according to an electricity price report released by the competition watchdog on Monday. Energy bills have been reduced nationwide, chiefly through federal and state subsidies, but the annual survey from the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission found that households prepared to switch providers were saving 17 per cent more than their loyal counterparts. ACCC commissioner Anna Brakey says customers who have not changed electricity plans in the past 12 months are probably paying more than they need to. Credit: Oscar Colman The gap was biggest in Victoria, where loyal customers paid about 19 per cent, or $291, more on their annual energy bills than those who switched providers. In NSW, the difference was 15 per cent, or $297, while South Australians saw the largest dollar-value difference at $334. Flat-rate offers in these states and South East Queensland dropped in the year to August, sliding 4 per cent on average. The cost of “time-of-use” offers, which charge different rates based on when customers use electricity, decreased by 5.5 per cent, while those on demand offers – pricing plans that charge customers based on the maximum amount of power they use during peak times – saw the least benefit. Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) commissioner Anna Brakey urged customers to contact their electricity provider to ask if a cheaper electricity plan was available. “If you haven’t changed electricity plans in the past 12 months, chances are you are paying more for your electricity than you need to,” she said. Loading Federal energy bill relief and rebates in Queensland, Western Australia and Tasmania also cut power bills. Electricity prices dropped 17 per cent in the three months to September, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics. The reduction in power bills, along with lower fuel prices, were major reasons for the fall in overall inflation to 2.8 per cent in the September quarter . Excluding the rebates, electricity prices would have risen by 0.7 per cent.

Marler to retire from rugby on Friday, a month after quitting international duty with EnglandJIMMY Carter set a powerful model for ex-presidents despite the political crises he faced in the White House. The beloved leader's legacy extended far beyond his one term in the Oval Office with his sad passing at the age of 100 marking the death of one of America's kindest souls. James Earl Carter Jr. came from humble beginnings, born and raised on a peanut farm in Plains, Georgia, He was also the only US Naval Academy graduate to be elected to the White House before he took public office. But it was Carter's background that was part of his appeal, according to political scientist and professor at the University of Oregon, Daniel Tichenor. Tichenor exclusively told The U.S. Sun, “[Carter] was kind of relatively inexperienced, but that was also his enormous appeal because most Americans had lost trust in government and the presidency in particular and feeling that it had been corrupted." Carter ran for president in 1976, just two years after Former President Richard Nixon resigned from office following the Watergate scandal. Tichenor added that Americans also felt as if there were "a lot of deceptions surrounding the Vietnam War," which ended in 1975 after two decades of fighting. “The national spirit was low and here was somebody who was coming in with fresh ideas who wanted to make human rights and American morality front center in our foreign policy," the expert said. "And [Carter] also was promising unprecedented transparency and honesty as an elected official.” Carter was "very popular at the outset," according to Tichenor. One of the highlights of Carter's presidency was the Camp David Accords, a pair of political agreements signed in 1978 by Egypt and Israel that aimed to bring peace to the Middle East. But, the Carter administration also took several political blows that the 39th president couldn't recover from. “He faced in his first term, a number of crises and challenges that really tested him and ultimately led to his defeat in the 1980 election," Tichenor said. This included the Iran hostage crisis, where 52 US diplomats and citizens from the national Embassy in Tehran were held hostage for 444 days, the 1979 oil crisis which was caused by a decrease in oil production during the Iranian Revolution, and the Soviet Union's invasion of Afghanistan in 1979. “All these things really shook confidence in his administration," Tichenor said. And in 1980, Carter lost the presidency to Republican nominee Ronald Reagan. While Carter might have been dealt a hard defeat, he didn't give up in his commitment to service, in fact, he stayed active in public engagements until 2021 at the age of 97. “The vast majority of former presidents usually spent their time in leisure," Tichenor said. "Instead President Carter really set a powerful model for how to really be an agenda setter and someone who is a change agent after one’s presidency.” Carter and his wife, Rosalynn, founded the Carter Center in 1982, which "seeks to prevent and resolve conflicts, enhance freedom and democracy, and improve health ," on the global stage, according to their mission statement. One of the center's health programs, which has been around since 1986, includes the eradication of Guinea worm disease. Kai Bird, Carter's biographer, wrote in The New York Times , "He once told me that he hoped to outlive the last Guinea worm. "Last year there were only 13 cases of Guinea worm disease in humans," he said. "He may have succeeded." Carter and his wife have also contributed to Habitat for Humanity, a nonprofit which builds houses for people in need across the world. The former president was “somebody who was ready to roll up his sleeves and give back in a powerful way," Tichenor said. In 2002, Carter was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, which the Chairman of the Nobel Committee believed the former president deserved as early as 1978 after the Camp David Accords. This award has only been given to three other presidents and Carter was the only one to be handed the award after his presidency. Tichenor believes Carter was given the award for “a long tenure as a states person who tried to resolve conflicts around the world and to be a constructive force to encourage lasting peace." From peanut farmer to noble prize winner, Jimmy Carter committed his life to the well-being of not only the American people, but those in need around the globe. “I have one life and one chance to make it count for something," Jimmy Carter once said. "My faith demands that I do whatever I can, wherever I am, whenever I can, for as long as I can with whatever I have to try to make a difference.” The 39th president of the United States , died after nearly two years in hospice care. His son Chip Carter confirmed the former leader died at his Georgia home on Sunday around 3:45 pm ET. Carter peacefully passed away surrounded by his family who paid an emotional tribute to the former leader. Carter is survived by his children, Jack, James, Donnel, and Amy, as well as 22 grandchildren and great-grandchildren. A state funeral is expected to be announced in the coming days.

F.P. Report ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif on Wednesday expressed his zero tolerance for any future violent onslaught and sit-ins by a group of miscreants in Islamabad and resolved to take stern decisions to put an end to repeated string of violent chaos and damages to the country’s economy. Addressing a meeting of the federal cabinet, the prime minister without mentioning the name of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) led recent onslaught on the federal capital, said that repeated attacks by a clique of miscreants had forced them to rethink. With the collective deliberations, they had to take strict measures, to quell such scenes in future as they could no longer put all their resources and energies into it, leading to economic destruction, he observed. “They should have only one option before them; that is progress and prosperity o Pakistan. As a Prime Minister, chief executive, as members of the cabinet and parliamentarians, they will not let that coterie of anarchy to inflict further harm on country’s economy,” he maintained. The prime minister said that once again an assault was mounted on Islamabad, but on previous night, all the law enforcement agencies had collectively and with good strategy dispersed the protest and provided relief to the public. As a result of such riot, Islamabad in particularly and the country in generally, witnessed huge economic losses as businesses were closed, traders were raising hue and cry, owners of the factories were in distress; daily wagers found it hard to get one time meal while the patients were stranded, he added. In twin cities, the prime minister said the life was paralyzed. In the larger context, the economic losses were manifolds, the country’s stock exchange market which had crossed the historic mark of 99,000 points few days back, lost 4,000 points in one day due to chaos. These miscreants had become the permanent enemies of Pakistan’s progress. But after restoration of peace, the PSE rallied and crossed the earlier figure, he said, adding the trend in business was like a flight of a soaring bird and investments poured in where the peace and opportunities existed. The prime minister regretted that such like dangerous trend of upheaval and attacks was set by a party of troublemakers as it was not visible prior to the year 2014, because none of the political parties had ever thought of mounting attacks on the federal capital. During 2014, Chinese President Xi’s visit to Pakistan was postponed due to 126 days sit in by the same figures and their leadership created mess and used foul language, which was still haunting their minds, he added. The prime minister also referred to the launching of protest on the eve of SCO heads of government summit in Islamabad, which had prompted concerns among a number of heads of close friendly countries about their visit to host Pakistan. He also criticized staging of protest by the same party during a visit by the delegation of Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The prime minister said the mischief makers had also injured and killed security personnel during the recent attack. No patriotic or even a resident of the country could imagine to harm the country for personal interests and could go to such extreme of damaging the country. He opined that the law and constitution ensured right for a peaceful protest. About the recent visit of President of Belarus, the prime minister said that they were taking decisions to enhance bilateral ties and cooperation between the two countries and on the other hand, there were scenes of battles. A number of Rangers and police personnel were martyred whereas dozens others were injured, he added. The prime minister said that they could no longer waste their energies to tackle these spectacles on daily basis and stressed to ponder as to why the country was still mired in foreign debts even after passage of 77 years. He also viewed that if the culprits of 9th May riots were given exemplary punishment by the courts, such like spectacles would not have happened. The prime minister also appreciated the Islamabad, Punjab, Sindh police force and other law enforcement agencies for quelling the fresh wave of attack and particularly thanked the chief of army staff for his cooperation with regard to law and order situation. He said that in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, the terrorists and insurgency was on the rise while in Kurram, dozens of people were killed, but instead focusing on the law and order situation there, the provincial government had left the residents in the lurch and led an armed attack on Islamabad. The prime minister said that the provincial government of KPK did not pay heed to the hardships of the poor people but instead indulged in foul language and hurled threats against the federal government. The recent mayhem had caused Rs190 billion daily damages to the country’s economy adversely affecting country’s exports and imports, he said, adding for the personal interests, their leadership was damaging the country’s interests which ‘is a bigger crime and will not be forgiven’. He said that today’s meeting had only one point agenda that was to discuss the situation seriously emerging after repeated assaults by a party as they could no longer sap their energy and resources in confronting them. He further stressed that the government would not let certain situation in future to happen under any condition. It would not happen; not under their watch and time. “We will steer Pakistan out of the challenges,” he added. In a veiled manner, he said it pained them (PTI) that Pakistan was saved from default. He prime minister credited the coalition parties in the federation who with sincere and joint efforts, arrested the galloping inflation and price hike. The coalition parties had put their political interests at stake to save the country. In the last eight months, the economy was on path of recovery. “No one is empowered to create such a miracle but owing to joint efforts,” he added. The prime minister recollected that the PTI leadership could not defy the 2018 historic rigging and Imran Niazi at that time had promised him to form an inquiry committee but it could not held its meetings. The prime minister said with personal centered statement, an attempt was made to harm fraternal ties with a brotherly country. The prime minister termed the political manoeuvres by the particular party as ‘a Fitna’ as there was no room for chaos in politics and likened these to worst kind of fascism of Nazis. The directive of Islamabad High Court was torn into pieces as a person was hell bent to sacrifice the country for the sake of his vested interests, he further added. “We will break that hand which harms the country,” he added.

Mineralys Therapeutics (NASDAQ:MLYS) Trading Down 4.1% – What’s Next?By Julie Carr Smyth and Geoff Mulvihill, The Associated Press COLUMBUS, Ohio — Transgender students from kindergarten through college at Ohio public and private schools will be banned from using multiperson bathrooms that fit their gender identities under a measure that Republican Gov. Mike DeWine said Wednesday that he has signed. DeWine signed the law out of public view Tuesday over the objections of Democrats, teachers' unions and civil rights groups, which had hoped that his objections to a ban on gender-affirming care for minors last year would carry through and prompt another veto. It takes effect in 90 days. The governor issued no statement regarding the signing. The Republican-backed measure — labeled the “Protect All Students Act” — requires public and private schools, colleges and universities to designate separate bathrooms, locker rooms and overnight accommodations “for the exclusive use” of either males and females, based on one’s gender assigned at or near birth, in school buildings and other facilities used for school-sponsored events. It contains no enforcement mechanism. “It revolves around safety, security, and, I think, common sense. It protects our children and grandchildren in private spaces where they are most vulnerable,” said Republican Ohio state Sen. Jerry Cirino, the bill’s sponsor. School employees, emergency situations and people assisting young children or someone with a disability are exempted from the restrictions and schools can still offer single-use or family bathrooms. Aaron Baer, president of the Center for Christian Virtue, which backed the bill, said in a statement, “Common sense is on a winning streak in America today. No student should be forced to go into the bathroom or locker room with a student of the opposite sex, and Ohio’s kids are better protected now because of Governor DeWine’s decision to sign this bill.” The ACLU of Ohio was among the groups that had lobbied for a veto, condemning the measure as a violation of the right of privacy of LGBTQ+ Ohioans that will make them less safe. Equality Ohio, the state’s LGBTQ+ advocacy and legal aid organization, said the law poses risks to transgender youth “or anyone perceived as transgender by authorities.” “We are deeply disappointed that Governor DeWine has allowed this dangerous bill to become law that puts vulnerable trans youth at risk for abuse and harassment,” Executive Director Dwayne Steward said in a statement. The group said it will continue to fight “for a state that embraces and respects all its residents.” With DeWine’s signature, Ohio adds to the pushback that’s cropped up nationally among many Republican politicians, including President-elect Donald Trump, as transgender people have gained more visibility and acceptance on some fronts in recent years. Twenty-six states have now adopted laws restarting or banning gender-affirming care for transgender minors. The U.S. Supreme Court is scheduled to hear arguments Dec. 4 on whether Tennessee’s ban on such treatments can continue to be enforced; any ruling is likely to impact policies in other states, too. At least 11 states have adopted laws, like Ohio’s, barring transgender girls and women from girls and women’s bathrooms at public schools – and in some cases, in other government facilities. And at least 24 states have laws dictating which sports competitions transgender girls and women can join. Ohio’s bathroom bill was debated for 19 months before finally clearing the GOP-led Legislature on Nov. 13, during Transgender Awareness Week. It was tacked onto a separate piece of legislation by the Ohio House that related to the state’s College Credit Plus program, which allows high-schoolers to earn college credit. Trump’s campaign leaned heavily into opposing transgender rights in the last weeks of his race against Vice President Kamala Harris, including Trump’s vow at a Madison Square Garden rally that “we will keep men out of women’s sports” and campaign ads saying, “Kamala’s for they/them. President Trump is for you.” It’s not clear what policies Trump might adopt once he takes office in January. But bills relating to gender issues are already being queued up in state legislatures that come into session early in 2025. In Texas, for instance, there are proposed measures to bar using state money to pay for “gender reassignment,” to use state money to pay to reverse gender transitions, and to give people who receive gender-affirming care before they turn 15 until they turn 25 to sue their doctors for malpractice, among others. Democrats in the Republican-dominated legislature there have also introduced some bills intended to protect people from discrimination on the basis of “gender identity or expression.” In Ohio, a law that both bars gender-affirming care for minors and blocks transgender girls and women from participating in girls and women’s sports competitions took effect in August. It took a rocky path, though. The measure became law only after the legislature overrode DeWine’s veto . And after that, a judge put enforcement on hold for about four months before allowing it.
