Topic	FL Repubs pass bill; bans trans kids from sports, allows genital inspections
Eevee-Trainer 04/15/21 4:30:06 PM #1:	Where I heard of this: https://twitter.com/OmariJHardy/status/1382521994554572804 A news article: https://apnews.com/article/school-athletics-genetic-testing-bills-florida-bd489fbff68700e9cfc1674774b3d6b8 Florida lawmakers moved closer to requiring transgender athletes to undergo testosterone or genetic testing as well as submit to having their genitalia examined to participate on sports teams in public schools and colleges. The previous article was written before it passed; here's one (aside from the Tweet) that confirmed it did: https://floridapolitics.com/archives/420225-houses-passes-bill-prohibiting-transgender-girls-from-playing-on-girls-sports-teams/ The Florida House on Wednesday passed a bill 77-40 that would ban transgender girls from participating in womens sports. Supporters argued the legislation (HB 1475) will preserve the integrity of womens sports because transgender girls have an unfair advantage. Thats despite an array of womens sports organizations opposing the bill, and the NCAA threatening to pull all championships from the state, which could jeopardize a $75 million economic impact. [...] The legislation has been among the most controversial of the Session, generating hours of debate over amendments. House Republicans voted down 18 amendments offered by Democrats on the floor on Tuesday. Those included changes that would have carved out elementary and middle school children from the bill, prohibited genital inspections or codified the current Florida High School Athletic Association guidelines into law. [...] Under the measure, students schools would have to resolve disputes by requesting that the student provide a health examination and consent form or other statement signed by the students personal health care provider which must verify the students biological sex. The measure provides that a students gender would be determined by their reproductive anatomy, genetic makeup or normal endogenously produced testosterone levels. Absolutely fucking disgusting. --- My Social Discord Server, Eevee's Mystery Dungeon: https://discord.gg/emd My PMD Rescue Server: https://discord.gg/E57gMQq <cite>Eevee-Trainer posted [p:952869792] in FL Repubs ...
