According to the OHSAA, the Ohio state’s high school sports governing body, only 20 transgender girls (biological males) have participated in girls sports this year. They don't mention how many biological girls participated in male sports.
Oberlin College has a (diving team) trans man (F to M) that is also affected by this ruling.
But, you're OK with government forcing bakers to bake cakes and other over reaches. Wow, talk about hypocritical.
I am?
Hypocrisy is team supposed small government micro managing family health care against the advice of medical professionals. Dewine had the guts to face the people that would be impacted and decided to veto the specific details of this bill as a government overreach. While addressing the biggest concern and banning surgery and other care for minors. The legislators who overrode it did not.
It appears the pendulum is finally swinging back. The predictable result when progressives keep shoving all of this down our throat.
Lets see how many more states will follow suit.
Yes this is great news, from your article, politicians deciding medical care.

Two of Kat Scaglione’s three children are transgender, and the Chagrin Falls artist is devastated, but not surprised, by the new law. Her 14-year-old daughter Amity is already receiving mental health services and some medication, and would be able to continue her treatment under the law’s grandfather clause, but she wouldn’t be able to seek anything further, such as hormone therapies, and would have to go out of state to progress in her gender-affirming care.
Scaglione and her partner, Matt, are even considering moving their family out of state entirely, despite recently buying a house in a school district and community that’s safer for Amity and her 10-year-old sister, Lexi, who is also transgender. They don’t feel welcome in Ohio, and don’t see that changing anytime soon.
Ohio has 400,000 athletes participating in sports, there are 19 trans-girls. No indication that their prior policy didn't address the issue.
Dewine is a reasonable governor as was the republican governor of Utah who also had his veto overridden, but at least in Utah they compromised with reasonable compromise on high school sports.
For most women's sports there's no way to really monetize it at a professional level so the real benefits lie in getting sports scholarships and the window for earing those is small. These young women can't risk missing out on those opportunities so they are easily intimidated into silence. Plus many of them are brainwashed by the schools.

You're both right on this.
What's ridiculous is the people that actually believe that these guys are women, and then defend them with the pronouns. It has to be the dumbest thing I have ever lived through.
If you google "trans male athletes", you'll see photos of twelve notable men.
Conservative media doesn't focus on them, however, because they're perceived as less threatening to cis males. However, if the logic about "bathroom behavior" were consistent then there would be worry from conservatives about trans boys and men being assaulted by cis men. But that apparently doesn't fit the narrative...
Conservative Media which is less than 5% of all Media, so hardly anything. Reality is tough to handle isn't it?

No, those are pictures of 12 trans athletes, both men and women. Calling them "12 notable men" is as controversial as referring to someone as "cis", in my opinion.

I think you may be greatly underestimating that percentage, but if it were truly "5%" then NewsCorp must make up "4.9%" of it.
In any event, conservative media has an outsized influence on issues that eventually make their way up to conservative politicians. Often such issues are concerns blown out of proportion, resulting in legislation like we are currently discussing.

No matter how you perceive them, they identify as male (or perhaps non-binary in a few cases). They are notable to the trans community. The term cis, as you may know, is to differentiate from trans and also serves to be inclusive to the latter.
