“We are having active conversations with our partners and also evaluating what legal options are available to us. If there is an avenue, we will challenge this ballot measure in court on behalf of our members and our community and trans youth,” said Danni Askini, the group’s executive director.

She said Gender Justice League would challenge the measure, Initiative 638, based on a 2008 student privacy rights case that ruled that Washington schools requiring suspicionless urine testing of students was unconstitutional.

“We believe that the Washington constitution and the Supreme Court have been really clear that I-638 would go far beyond a random drug screening and invade all girls’ privacy,” Askini said, adding that the measure “sets a really chilling and disturbing precedent.”

I don’t know what the hell is wrong with the USA but neither I nor anyone I know was made to have physicals at school, much less have our genitals inspected or fondled. Your experience should not have happened, much as the experience of girls just wanting to play sports shouldn’t involve any sex or gender inquiry beyond checking a box when you fill in the forms.
