An Ohio county judge ruled on Aug. 6 that a law prohibiting “gender transition” and banning biological males from competing in women’s sports does not violate the state’s constitution.

The court’s decision, which lifts an earlier injunction by the same judge, clears the way for the law to be enforced.
