So what’s interesting about this specific ruling is that the bill combined a couple different anti-trans goals into one. Plaintiffs argued that this violates Ohio’s single-subject rule, where each bill needs to address one subject. The court ruled that actually, it is one subject, and that subject is restricting the freedom of transgender people. Nice of them to come out and just say it, I guess.
