Pedophiles gonna pedophile. Create rules "to protect women and girls" whilst endangering women and girls.

Christ, conservatives are really weird people.
So you're going to create a bunch of discomfort and probably trauma for tens of thousands of girls to bully 3 kids you don't like? Oh yeah, these anti trans fuckheads have the moral high ground.
It's really disgusting to see so many people on here excusing this vile invasion of girls' privacy. These genital exams have absolutely nothing to do with health; they are only to confirm the sex of the child. They are transphobic, creepy, and discriminatory. Boys will not be subjected to the same type of genital exam.
Isn't it interesting that the party supporting sweeping Epstein and other pedo crimes under the rug is also the party that wants laws which look at childrens' genitals?
This has always been the inevitable outcome of going down this path. I hate to say it but these reactionaries won’t understand until it’s their own children being forced to choose between playing sports or not getting assaulted by school sports officials who want to “check their genitals”.
They don't want girls doing sports. Or anything besides playing with dolls to prepare for when they get baby trapped by a chud around 16-24.
It was weird to do it for pee wee football as a young boy too...
A hernia check was part of the physical, and that included a doctor holding your balls and having you cough.
We could just have universal healthcare though, and normal annual exams should be a thing regardless of athletic participation.
The only reason any sports physical is ever needed, is a shit ton of kids don't normally see a doctor. Give them all access to medical care, and every kid would already be getting an annual exam, and there's be no need for any child to get one just for sports.
Just a form from a doctor saying "____ is medically able to play ____ at _____" that you get whenever your annual is, good for a year.
Covers every base.
That's, uh, not standard my guy.

Now, state to state is bound to be some variation so definitely not saying you're lying if you never got checked...
But did you personally ever do a sports physical for football?
It wasn't a secret, we all talked about how fucking weird it was. Definitely a normal part of the exam. The entire team pretry much all went at the same time to the same clinic every year the day the forms were passed out.
Can confirm. Always hated this for pop warner football as a kid in the 90s.
"Turn your head and cough."
There's a bunch of people on here that never have any idea what they're talking about, but constantly want to tell everyone what their uninformed opinion is.
It's really fucking weird, and almost always comes from the fringe instances.
My physicals did not include getting groped by adults to "check for hernias."
I'm sorry you guys lived in pedo states.
There's also, btw, a difference between a sports physical and the physical a 40+ year old man gets to make sure he doesn't have colon cancer, since you seem confused on the matter. Not to mention unironically saying "they did it to me 30 years ago!"
You know, because they're cheaper and less invasive...
You think hernia check and colonoscopy are the same?
You are an idiot. It's a standard medical test and you are the one making it weirdly sexual.
Abuse victims are often the most fervent supporters of abusive systems, and predators often seek positions of access.
Figure it out, dum dum, meanwhile the civilized world isn't groping children's genitals for problems they aren't reporting like "my balls hurt from a famously painful condition"
The necessity of it could be argued, but the motivation of it was medical. A doctor performing a test that was mandated by the league does not make them a pedophile. It was a common practice that was well documented, not a secret in a back room. I can't say that it was necessary, I'm not a doctor. But pretending it was motivated by pedophilia is idiotic.
That's really no different than what my tailor does when measuring my inseam.
That's quite a tailor you have there. Do they charge extra for 'inseam adjustments' ?
Frankie always gets me a good deal. My family's been going to him forever. He did my first suit when I was 15.
Yeah, so…
Read this shit and then remember that there are people here that won’t vote, and recommend that you don’t either. Then remember that they’re here to try and guarantee a MAGA victory.
Then vote your fucking ass off.
Sure vote, but also by a gun and be ready to use it when they announce republicans are staying in office or that votes are really just a suggestion and the results were rigged anyway.
I'm Washington? There's no way that's gonna pass.
At first I was a little alarmed, but then I also realized, you have to get a physical before you can participate in sports in the first place
Conservatives are obsessed with genitals and children. It's weird.
Children's genitals, to be more apt.
Just call them what they are. Perverts.
1 in 4 girls are sexually abused before age 18 and 1 in 6 boys. That's a lot of pedophiles. It's them, the right wingers, they're the pedophiles. That's why they don't care about the Epstein files.
At a certain point I realized that those numbers were accurate, based on people I knew or knew of. Later I realized that most men wouldn’t make the connection because they are too self centered, don’t listen, and aren’t considered safe and comfortable enough to be confided in by most women, or men.
Do the people voting for this shit understand that their kids will also be subject to this bullshit? Do they think that somehow, magically, it will only affect trans kids?
Do the people voting for this shit understand that their kids will also be subject to this bullshit?
Don't spread these LIES. Just like banning abortion, it's only a ban for THOSE promiscuous girls, not my darling baby girl. If she ever got into "trouble" she would get an exception.
- Nearly word for word from an in-law
Aha, so this was the endgame all along. Someone gets the job of checking every underage girls genitals and when the doctors refuse to do it, it'll be a Presidential appointed position.
Yep my first thought was Larry Nassar. It's just going to reduce female participation in sports.
Do sports physicals not require that anymore? Every year I played sports middle through high school you had to drop trow during your required annual physical. This was 90’s - 2000’s.
I realize this is specifically about treating trans people horribly, but I’m still curious for anyone who recently played school sports in the US.
Wait, what‽ seriously you had full body physicals for high school sports?
Yeah, anyone who wanted to play had to
Yeah, one of the many reasons I was never interested, another was our mascot.
That's how they do sports!
...in PRISON
Every school had it in the 1990's. It was to relieve the school of liability if something happened while you played sports.
The closest thing would be a hernia check for boys, which is generally considered optional. There is no corresponding check for girls. They may be asked if they are menstruating, and if it is regular. That's about it. And none of that information would be communicated to the school. It's just for their medical history. There is no part of the form where the doctor is required to verify the existence or nature of someone's sex organs.
I'd also like to point out that the initiative provides no source of additional funding to cover the processing and keeping of records it will force schools to gather. Consider that girls sports already gets significantly less funding than boys sports. This will widen that gap considerably.
I entered high school in 2009. The only exam they required of athletes was a concussion baseline. I might have needed to get a note from my pedestrian.
Back in grade school, we had vision, ear, and the occasional lice exam.
Wait! The ban is statewide?! Damn! When my friend showed me their voters guide, I kinda hoped it was local!
Damn! I already know the second my ballot comes in what I'm not voting in favor of!
Should probably do hormone level testing only Edit: not that I support this in school sports, it's just the least invasive most useful measurement
Back in my day, they actually tried to hide the sexual abuse in college sports. It’s a little weird to see how proud they are of it now.
Why do conservatives always want to look at little kid's genitals, fucking weirdos.
I hope this political ad gets aired far and wide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gt_IZoM9KuQ
