| Okay, I think we all just need to ignore the pp who is pretending that her party isn’t going to be responsible for minor female athlete rape. Many of the hardest core Republicans don’t think girls should be playing sports at all, so this rape bill is a twofer, really - punish girls for being girls and transgirls for being girls and pushing girls out of sports altogether. |
Illiterate dipshit: see if you can find someone to read this, below, to you: the Republican bill: https://search-prod.lis.state.oh.us/solarapi/v1/ge...1/PH/02/hb151_02_PH?format=pdf "If a participant's sex is disputed, the participant shall establish the participant's sex by presenting a signed physician's statement indicating the participant's sex based upon only the following: (1) The participant's internal and external reproductive anatomy" |
You do realize there are other ways to confirm internal sex organs, right? Not just DIGITAL RAPE? |
Yeah, people have lost their damn minds on this thread. If your kid has a pediatrician, all they would need to do is certify that your son or daughter has the appropriate external genitalia. No examination necessary. |
It says internal anatomy, not internal exam. You do realize there are other ways to confirm internal sex organs, right? A digital exam is not the only way to do this. Once again, the bill says absolutely nothing about forced internal digital exams. |
Yep. Grown ups understand that a digital exam is not the only way to verify internal sex organs. That is why we are discussing that the bill says absolutely nothing about forced digital exams. So yes, please let the grown ups continue to discuss. |
You thinking CT scan, genius?
Btw, we can all wonder how many mass shootings with assault rifles there will be between now and whenever the Republicans get their perved out law in Ohio.

Understatement of the year. And all over some made up jazzy headline about rape. Freaking sad. |
Among other things. Ultrasound would be way easier. Karyotyping. MRI. X-ray. Checking the chart to see the age of menses. Many, many options. Interesting how DIGITAL RAPE was the very first thing that came to mind for OP. It’s astounding, actually. |
Oops sorry, my bad. The OP wasn’t the one crowing about digital rape. My apologies. |
Republicans: Making it easier to buy a gun than allowing kids to play sports! |
Spoken like a true man. Abdominal ultrasound |
so yeah one option to check for internal organs is digitally. That's completely abnormal and super gross. The other ways all require expensive medical testing. Does the bill suggest how those medically unnecessary tests will be paid for? |

"House Bill 151, also called the "Save Women's Sports Act," says if a participant's sex is disputed, she must verify her sex with a physician in "only" the following ways.
An exam of her internal and external reproductive anatomy. Her normal "endogenously produced levels of testosterone." An analysis of her genetic makeup. It's not clear whether student-athletes could pick one of these options or would have to provide all three. So, here's what we know: Options two and three would require a blood draw, but option one is a full pelvic exam that could include ultrasound and/or insertion of a doctor's hand to confirm the presence of a uterus and ovaries, said Melissa Wervey Arnold, CEO for Ohio's chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics." https://www.dispatch.com/story/news/2022/06/07/bill-transgender-athletes-could-require-genital-checks-girls/7529718001/ |
Just about as much as it suggest forced digital exams. |
