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.

I'm currently reading "Work Won't Love You Back" by Sarah Jaffe, which goes into ome detail of how our modern ideas of gender and gender roles have been shaped and violently enforced by the state. This is another chapter in that rich tradition, I suppose.

Republicans want to inspect children's genitals. Yes, this is healthy, the right is perfectly sane.

Didn't want to say it in the OP because it'd probably get modded but, yup, these people sure want an excuse to look at kids' genitals apparently >_>

as fucking disgusting as this bill and those like it are, we can stop the genital inspection day memes. physicals for school sports are normal, and include a hernia test.

It seems to me like they could do all this without the genital inspection. I don't think the state of a person's genitals is relevant to any competitive sport

The supposed party of liberty and small government, claiming to be fighting against government overreach, wants to know what's in your kids' pants.

Fucking Puritans.

For what it's worth, trans people have been saying for years that any time an anti trans piece of law passes, it will also hurt cis people. You're shooting yourself in the foot by supporting this stuff, while just straight up shooting us in the face and chest.

This is very much a thing that informed people have in mind when we say that trans rights are human rights. Because if you come for some of us, you come for all of us.
