TOLEDO, Ohio (WTVG) - Democrats and doctors in Ohio continue to speak out against a bill that would ban transgender girls from competing in female sports at the high school and collegiate levels.

The bill passed the Ohio House of Representatives late last Wednesday without votes from Democrats. It now heads to the Senate.

Republicans said the bill is needed to protect the integrity of women’s sports.

Democrats who oppose the bill, including Rep. Beth Liston, who is a physician, led a news conference Thursday morning to explain a section of the bill that has brought with it the most outrage: requiring genital exams for children whose gender is questioned. [snip]
