[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Trans boys (female-to-male) also exist and play boys sports. Will they require examination of them too?

What about female teens (gender and sex) who play on boys' HS teams? [b]When I was in HS both my football and wrestling teams had biological girls on them because those sports were not offered to girls and there were a few girls who wanted to play[/b].[/quote]

Did they use the same locker room or were they given a separate changing area?  Do you consider that an important consideration?  Did their families and the families of the other players?[/quote]

They changed in the girls' locked room, which exists at every HS.

But under this OH law, conceivably they could be subject to a physical exam of their genitalia. [/quote]

I am not defending this law but I think that male athletes and female athletes and trans athletes deserve protection, including their own locker rooms.  For everyone's protection.

When you were in school, the schools and families understood that and made sure that it happened.  We should do no less.[/quote]

When I was in school, there was zero awareness of trans kids. My Southern conservative school had a no kids who were out and gay— although several of my friends have since come out as gay. I feel terrible, because they were my friends, and that would not have changed. I wish they had felt they could open up to me. But I understand the silence. This was circa Matthew Shepard.

Now we are doing the same damn thing to trans kids. [/quote]
