  1. As someone who went to junior high, I can say with 100 percent certainty, this will be widely used for bullying puposes and making pranks.

    As someone who is an adult, watching other adults demand to inspect little kids private parts is beyond fucking weird

  2. that Gaetz character is probably polishing up his application to be the inspector

  3. Sounds like these people need to stay 1000 feet away from a school. And to be placed on a sex offender list.

  4. The right wing is all about portraying LGBT* people as threats to children, yet they are trying to pass laws and hire people to didil the private parts of children.

  6. She’s putting Florida’s government “pecker-checkers” out of work! Hopefully.

  7. A lot of the same assholes who loved to complain about women’s sports being irrelevant or a joke are suddenly reeeeaaaalllly interested in fairness in women’s sports.

  8. Time to identify every Republican politician’s child-athlete and start openly questioning their gender.

  9. Maybe we need to elect people that want to focus on the economy and infrastructure instead of everyone’s genitals.

  10. Absolutely right, not to mention this entire policy is simply *begging* for some adult in power to abuse it. If they already are required to do a genital check on kids, what’s to stop a potential pedo from deciding that, no one else wants to do it, they’ll ake one for the team and, “help with the inspections”?

    Nothing can justify potentially getting kids more chances to face molestation by powerful figures in their lives, all because *some* loud dipshits can’t accept that their kid just isn’t the next Michael Jordan and should pick up a Cello instad of a basketball.

  12. This is exactly what the GOP wants to be able to do: look at the genitals of teenagers whenever they wish. Their blatant support of sex trafficking and rape are evident in their unwavering support of candidates accused/convicted of it.

    Listen to what the GOP is saying through their actions. It is obvious.

  13. If they *must* know if someone is female to play school sports, couldn’t they use a chromosome test instead of humiliating physical exams?

    Remember, these are the same people who want to be able to track girl’s menstrual cycles.

  14. I don’t remember a time where we’ve seen a political party be so obsessed with genitals and male/female parts.

  15. Why would a genital exam be needed. Your gender should be listed in medical documents and other information readily available I would think

  16. Can’t this just be addressed with birth certificates? …or is that too simple?

  17. They can’t just show their birth certificate when they register to play the sport? These pervs really gotta do everything they can to abuse children.

  21. When I hear conservatives cry about groomers I cringe. They always project. They are doing horrific things behind the scenes. What has already come out is just the tip of the iceberg. Conservatives are nothing if not good conspirators. They will always cover for one another. A circle of blackmail ensures it.

  23. Something tells me that these policies weren’t written by drag queens.

  24. GOP not satisfied with trying to control what you do in your bedroom, now they want to get in your kid’s pants at school. WTF

  26. Every school athlete already gets their genital examined when they go through the mandatory physical.

  27. I honestly don’t understand this. Don’t kids need sports physically to participate anyway?

    We _already_ require kids to get exams that, depending on things, often includes genitals, if they want to play sports, right? And we don’t mind because they are doctors (or certain types of nurses)

    Unless my doctor was sexually molesting me…. This feels like a complete non-issue. Just have the doctor certify whatever is required.

    Edit: updated for accuracy. Thank you for correcting me.

  28. Yearly full physicals we’re required. Genital health included. Is this is different (in practice, not ideology) than that?

  30. It’s incredibly telling Republicans are this focused on children’s genitals. Such a weird bunch.
