In this episode of the Celebrate Kids podcast, Dr. Kathy addresses the issue of gender identity for kids, which has become highly political. She discusses the challenges faced by parents who feel that others may restrict or guide their children's gender identity. Dr. Kathy offers guidance on how to navigate this topic and think critically about it. The episode also highlights the recent passing of House Bill 68 in Ohio, which bans gender-affirming care for youth battling gender dysphoria. After Gov. Mike DeWine previously vetoed the bill, the legislature overrode the veto and the bill will become law. This development has left some families feeling isolated and without necessary medical treatments.
