The Ohio Supreme Court has issued a ruling that allows the state to enforce a ban on transgender treatments for minors, including the use of cross-sex hormones.

A majority of justices on April 29 granted an emergency motion for a stay pending appeal, which enables enforcement of the Save Adolescents from Experimentation (SAFE) Act.
