| I'm sure Republicans are lining up to do genital inspections, particularly conservative religious groomers types. That is ridiculous. |

Poorly drafted bill but the idea is correct; let’s keep girls sports for girls.
This internal exam hysteria is mass misinformation from the trans-groomers. |
|
Millions of girls compete in school sports, but the presence of a half dozen trans athletes means we have to go ballistic and immediately pass over-the-top, intrusive laws.
Meanwhile, little girls are being SHOT TO DEATH BY PSYCHOPATHS ARMED WITH AR-15s in their classrooms and you don't care and want to do absolutely nothing about how easy it is for these lunatics to get those guns. Republicans are a sick joke. |
Go to the gun control. Forum you conflate issues. |
It's not conflation to perfectly illustrate how completely out-of-whack your priorities are. |
Why are you hashtagging on an anonymous message board? |
| Legalizing the molestation of minors. Any DR that agrees to this is suspect. |
I hesitate to say this because I don’t want anyone to misconstrue my comment as support for this bill, but from what I could find online (weird that the actual bill isn’t quoted in this thread at all) it appears that the text of the bill states that if the sex of an athlete is questioned, there are 3 ways the athlete can prove their sex, and one of them is with a note from a doctor, stating their sex based on external observations. Your sex would be part of your medical records, so your doctor should be able to write such a note without having to perform any new exams. This bill is problematic, but it doesn’t suggest that anyone other than one’s doctor should be examining one’s genitalia. |
What a waste of time and energy at this time when we have serious issues like fun control, reproductive rights, inflation, etc. to tackle. |
There are 5 trans athletes in OH HS sports. Under this bill, which has a TX abortion style enforcement mechanism— anyone- parent, coach, looky-Lu trouble maker can request sex verification. Of tens of thousands of girls, because of 5 athletes. If some nasty parent on an opposing team questioned your 14 year old’s gender, would you take her for the exam— which by law requires digital penetration while pushing down on her pelvis to confirm internal sex organs? Because I would not. Remember tranvaginal ultrasounds? And that was adult, or at least sexually active women. Just as interesting, there is no suggestion we should be diddling with teenage boys’ peenises before they can play football. |
A few years ago I would have thought you were crazy. I’m not convinced that you need to have abused children, but I’ve come to suspect that it’s definitely a feature of the upper echelons of the GOP. You have three very good examples - plus the reason for this thread - and don’t forget the whole Q/Comet Ping Pong thing. Every Republican accusation is a confession. |
So the GOP is basically mandating digital rape. Gee, how do they get more women to vote for them. |
You are wrong. The bill requires an internal gyn. exam. On a child who may not have even entered puberty (my very thin daughter did menstrate because she is so thin. She is defiantly female— in sex, in gender. But she was too thin to make estrogen (below 5% BMI) and that would not have been an option. And how many parents can afford to do a full genetic sequence on their kid? https://www.forbes.com/sites/petergreene/2022/06/03/ohio-legislators-want-to-check-childrens-gender/?sh=1e575f343ad0 Read and learn what they are doing to women at a time when eating disorders and other body image issues are rampant. I’ll take the 5 trans athletes, thanks. |
I don’t want my child’s doctor doing a digital internal exam on my teen unless it is medically necessary. |
They don’t get it though. Republicans’ gun lust is such that any number of dead children is acceptable (nay, desirable) and their hatred of women and the men who become women is such that they will do anything they can to punish them. |
