Doc was being weird.

For boys, the standard hernia test involves checking for testicle movement, usually during coughing. It’s highly recommended for sports participation, and required in some places, because a hernia is easily preventable and especially painful.

I had to go through that in the 6th grade to play a sport (wrestling), but didn’t have the wherewithal to say, “Nah, I’m good. No thanks”. But I do remember that poor lady was just as uncomfortable as I was.

As a pre-pubescent, having my testicles tugged down by a kind-looking woman (who was being as professional as humanly possible)… idk, I still remember that, like we both knew it was weird. Ended up quitting anyway, cause wrestling in middle school was definitely awkward. But that physical stuck with me

And the coach getting reprimanded for showering with us after practice… I kinda wish I was joking. Dodged a bullet for sure, but looking back… fuuuuck. That was a thing I knew wasn’t right. Sorry, that’s an unlocked memory. That lady was gentle and safe with my nads though, so that was cool. Just wish I had a heads up first, christ!

Sooo, yeahh… idk if that’s normal, but it happens. Probably caused a kink or two, but my sack and I passed the physical. Dunno what we were checking without asking (drop your trousers; balls in hand suddenly), but apparently my bojangles were cool? Damn, completely forgot about that though

Moral of the story; it is apparently a thing. Dunno if it’s medically weird or not, but it was weird for 6th grade me

more like they want to abuse children so much that they pretend to care about women’s safety.

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.

Some cis males also produce little testosterone. Look at Clavicular.

This is being done by the IOC now. This regulation will force many women athletes whom are known to have high levels of testosterone naturally, to be forced out of women’s events.

EDIT: If you aren’t aware, the IOC announced a ban on transgender women participating in women’s events in April.

This is literally who you’re allowing to run your country

“Sex-testing” children in schools sounds like something you’d find in a niche pervert hentai drooled over by 4chan /pol/ board weirdos

You’re telling me the party that actively wants to destroy women’s rights while supporting a pedophile in office would… try to do things that pedophiles and rapists would like? Say it ain’t so! /s

In a non patriarchal society. This would be great. But, unfortunately, we live in a patriarchal society and this would just result in more children being pushed out of sports because of toxic environments.

If you think kids are mean. Wait until you hear all the parents that verbally abuse kids on the field because of their “inferior” gender identity. Or the coaches that form “nonbinary” teams of all cis boys. “Our team sucks because it has too many girls”.

I played on a “mixed” summer softball team as a kid in South Georgia. It was literally just for fun and had no “championship”. Each game was entirely independent. Half of the already few girls quit after a few games. Little 8 year old girls crying because of shit they heard parents saying or that the other kids repeated.

This shit goes deep into our culture and society. Until that changes doing “all gender” sports is not a good idea in practice.

There are so few trans kids in our population. There are even fewer that want to play sports. The best thing to do now is let kids play on the team they want play on. And never ever ever allow these “genital inspection days”.

“but conservatives want to look at little kid’s junk before they can play sports.”

FTFY 🙂

I really cannot see this ever passing

There are a helluva lot of things that “I cannot see happening” that the USA is actively doing right now (and over the last decade or more) .

for girls, it depends on the type of HRT. Some trans-fem HRT lowers the production of testosterone; other HRT blocks the body from using testosterone, and can actually increase T levels as a result (but without the typical symptoms of high testosterone).
