PrismaCorp Foundation Responds to Ohio’s HB-68 Court Ruling
Columbus, Ohio – August 7, 2024 – The PrismaCorp Foundation expresses deep concern following the recent court ruling upholding Ohio’s House Bill 68, which bans gender-affirming medical care for minors and prohibits transgender athletes from participating in girls’ and women’s sports. This decision, issued by the Franklin County Court of Common Pleas, has significant implications for the rights and well-being of transgender youth in Ohio.
The PrismaCorp Foundation stands firmly with the transgender community and advocates for the rights of all individuals to receive necessary medical care and participate in sports without discrimination. We believe that every person, regardless of their identity, deserves the right to make informed decisions about their own bodies and to live authentically.
“We are deeply disappointed by the court’s decision to uphold HB-68. This law not only infringes on the rights of transgender youth but also poses a serious threat to their mental and physical health. At PrismaCorp Foundation, we are committed to supporting the transgender community and will continue to advocate for policies that protect and affirm their rights. We urge lawmakers and the public to recognize the importance of gender-affirming care and to stand against discrimination in all forms.” ~ PrismaCorp Foundation CEO, Callie Borgerding
