Language in the initiative claims that kids are already required to undergo verification of their “biological sex” before they can play sports. But KUOW spoke with medical professionals and a school sports official who said otherwise. Paperwork used by medical professionals in sports physicals also shows that the initiative would be a departure from current state requirements for athletic participation.

According to the initiative, students would have several options to confirm their sex: a visual genital exam, a lab test to determine their genetic makeup, or an analysis of testosterone levels in the blood. The genital exam, which a medical professional can conduct without touching the child, would likely be the most accessible option for most kids.

    Uhhhhhhhhhhh

    If you are so against transgender folks being transgender that you’re cool with a stranger confirming children’s gender by taking a peek at their genitals, you are a fucking monster of a human being.

    an analysis of testosterone levels in the blood

    Uh, wouldn’t this make trans women test as women and trans men test as men?

    Like, don’t tell them if so, because it’s absolutely funnier that way.

    To save women from having “men” theoretically sneaking into bathrooms to see their genitals, we’ve now mandated that all women must allow “medical professional men” to see their genitals.

    … This is what conservatism does to your brain…

    That’s what the conservatives behind all this anti-queer stuff actually intended: they want to see and fondle kids genitals.

    The WIAA is aware of roughly 10 trans athletes out of more than 200,000 kids who compete across the state, Kesterson said.

    20,000:1 RATIO, FUCKING HELL HOW WILL GIRLS SPORTS EVER OVERCOME SUCH A HUGE PROBLEM???

    I really cannot see this ever passing, at least. Laurie Jenkins would have Bob shot if this somehow passes the house & senate and he didn’t veto, and it’d probably be done with Mike Brown’s gun…

      There are a helluva lot of things that “I cannot see happening” that the USA is actively doing right now (and over the last decade or more) .

    If this passes as a ballot initiative in Washington State - pack it up, burn it down. This country has nothing worth trying to save.

    They’re going to auction off government positions for the new child genital inspecters to the highest bidders.

      The problem is these perverts spend far too much time thinking about children and their genitals.

      Partly became their religion is cool with it.
