[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People complain about conservative disinformation but the liberal disinformation on this thread is insane. An internal pelvic exam on a prepubescent girl would be done in the OR under general anaesthesia—so don’t worry, it’s not something your pediatrician is going to be doing at the office so your kid can play volleyball.

For those crowing about why don’t boys get genital exams to play sports—A hernia check is a pretty standard part of a boys sports physical so they already do.

To comply with this law, the pediatrician would just have to glance at the notes from your kids last well child visit where they most likely commented on the genitalia, then sign the damn form. For children who have ambiguous genitalia, then more investigation (e.g. an ultrasound and labs) is medically indicated so has most likely already been done. This bill would only present a hurdle to participation among kids who want to play on a team that doesn’t align with their biologic sex.[/quote]

Or, alternatively you can just let kids play sports and their families cheer them on and stop bullying them. Seems easier than the Rube Goldberg machine you just described. Do you even hear yourself? [/quote]

What Rube Goldberg machine? I was simply countering the disinformation in this thread’s title that girls are going to have forced internal pelvic exams in order to play sports. Realistically, the only kids that will be affected by this bill are trans kids and a very small number of kids with disorders of sexual development.

For the record I am opposed to this bill. I think trans kids participation in sports is a complex issue that requires nuance, which bills like this obviously don’t allow for. But I also think it is totally disingenuous and counter-productive for liberals to spread mass hysteria that this bill is going to force girls to have unnecessary genital exams, which it definitely will not.[/quote]

Maybe that’s the way to win elections. It works for the Rs. They lie constantly.

(FWIW - I haven’t said they are forcing genital exams) [/quote]
