Language in the initiative claims that kids are already required to undergo verification of their “biological sex” before they can play sports. But KUOW spoke with medical professionals and a school sports official who said otherwise. Paperwork used by medical professionals in sports physicals also shows that the initiative would be a departure from current state requirements for athletic participation.
According to the initiative, students would have several options to confirm their sex: a visual genital exam, a lab test to determine their genetic makeup, or an analysis of testosterone levels in the blood. The genital exam, which a medical professional can conduct without touching the child, would likely be the most accessible option for most kids.
or an analysis of testosterone levels in the blood.
So as soon as a trans Person is in hormines for St least some time, they can still participate. The law is still complete discriminatory bullshit, but it is not a complete exclusion (even tho they would have liked if it would be that way)
Hey y’all, when I was starting highschool I had a doctor try to inspect my genitals and i had to tell no, they told me I needed a physical before I could play sports, I declined again because I didn’t want to do sports anyway.
Can someone tell me if this was normal or if the doc was being weird?
Doc was being weird.
My first impression was that this bill must have been sponsored by Jon Lajoie, but no, he was not interested in kids genitals.
Conservatives are happy to look at children’s private parts.
Genital inspection day was supposed to be satire.
To save women from having “men” theoretically sneaking into bathrooms to see their genitals, we’ve now mandated that all women must allow “medical professional men” to see their genitals.
… This is what conservatism does to your brain…
“I looked at the genitals of 24 middle school girls and didn’t find any perverts. You’re welcome!”
While the law itself is a significant overreach and such. The article is really blowing it out of proportion. Doctors check a kids genitals at their yearly checkup until puberty at least. So thisnis just a simple doc signing off on something they have already done in the past. There will be exceptions of kids who moved or have a new doctor since puberty or something. But they already have to get a medical release usually to play sports anyway. So they will have a new doctor who will have undoubtedly done a general physical anyway. The ones who this really effects is the poor. The ones who don’t have a regulat doctor. Who is going to be doing their medical release… I don’t know. But it should at least be a doctor I believe.
Not that doctor’s are garunteed safe or anything. But in most cases they were at least vetted by the parents and not some random schmuck showing up at games checking girls crotchs.The goddamn team doctor for the US Women’s Gymnastics Olympic team is one of the most prolific child sex abusers to use their position of trust to gain access. Highly respected, highly public, and doctor to some of the most famous and elite athletes in the world and he did it for decades. You think they’re going to throughly vet Dr. McFeely when Nowhere Middle School needs a crotch inspector and Bumfuck City, Red State has only one physician in the county?
They are so afraid of a man using a women’s bathroom, that they will abuse as many children as possible.
Its almost like the goal was always to be able to abuse children easier. What with the epstein class running things and all that
What strikes me as curious is the fact that they somehow believe that a person would go through psychiatric evaluation, hormonal treatments, and face and genital surgeries just to be able to go into a women’s bathroom. Then they’ll tell you that it is not that, it is that they are afraid of men using it as a loophole to go into the women’s bathroom, and somehow they think the problem isn’t men.
Pedophiles and rapists control the US, so this is logical next step.
a visual genital exam
…no.
Uhhhhhhhhhhh
If you are so against transgender folks being transgender that you’re cool with a stranger confirming children’s gender by taking a peek at their genitals, you are a fucking monster of a human being.
This is Brian Heywood absuing the ballot initiative process again. Brian Heywood is a rich fuck who left California for Washington State because he’s dumb as fuck and thought WA was further to the right. He moved his entire business here and is now using his wealth to flood the zone with shitty, fucked up, misleading, and pointless ballot initiatives in an attempt to make WA what he originally (and stupidly) thought it was.
Brian Heywood should take his dumbass to Idaho, where they’re happy to bend over while he goes to town.
Sounds like some people just want to look at kid’s junk. Sounds very Republican.
