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.
Hey y’all, when I was starting highschool I had a doctor try to inspect my genitals and i had to tell no, they told me I needed a physical before I could play sports, I declined again because I didn’t want to do sports anyway.
Can someone tell me if this was normal or if the doc was being weird?
For boys, the standard hernia test involves checking for testicle movement, usually during coughing. It’s highly recommended for sports participation, and required in some places, because a hernia is easily preventable and especially painful.
Doc was being weird.
I had to go through that in the 6th grade to play a sport (wrestling), but didn’t have the wherewithal to say, “Nah, I’m good. No thanks”. But I do remember that poor lady was just as uncomfortable as I was.
As a pre-pubescent, having my testicles tugged down by a kind-looking woman (who was being as professional as humanly possible)… idk, I still remember that, like we both knew it was weird. Ended up quitting anyway, cause wrestling in middle school was definitely awkward. But that physical stuck with me
And the coach getting reprimanded for showering with us after practice… I kinda wish I was joking. Dodged a bullet for sure, but looking back… fuuuuck. That was a thing I knew wasn’t right. Sorry, that’s an unlocked memory. That lady was gentle and safe with my nads though, so that was cool. Just wish I had a heads up first, christ!
Sooo, yeahh… idk if that’s normal, but it happens. Probably caused a kink or two, but my sack and I passed the physical. Dunno what we were checking without asking (drop your trousers; balls in hand suddenly), but apparently my bojangles were cool? Damn, completely forgot about that though
Moral of the story; it is apparently a thing. Dunno if it’s medically weird or not, but it was weird for 6th grade me
I think I’m going to use “Weird for me” more often, and thank you.
The gop are going to sign up in droves to be this “medical professional”
Republicans are obsessed with children’s genitals.
Go figure.
At that point we can just say that, let’s just let the girls and boys play together so the Trump-Epstein coalition doesn’t come in to examine their genitals.
In a non patriarchal society. This would be great. But, unfortunately, we live in a patriarchal society and this would just result in more children being pushed out of sports because of toxic environments.
If you think kids are mean. Wait until you hear all the parents that verbally abuse kids on the field because of their “inferior” gender identity. Or the coaches that form “nonbinary” teams of all cis boys. “Our team sucks because it has too many girls”.
I played on a “mixed” summer softball team as a kid in South Georgia. It was literally just for fun and had no “championship”. Each game was entirely independent. Half of the already few girls quit after a few games. Little 8 year old girls crying because of shit they heard parents saying or that the other kids repeated.
This shit goes deep into our culture and society. Until that changes doing “all gender” sports is not a good idea in practice.
There are so few trans kids in our population. There are even fewer that want to play sports. The best thing to do now is let kids play on the team they want play on. And never ever ever allow these “genital inspection days”.
“Sex-testing” children in schools sounds like something you’d find in a niche pervert hentai drooled over by 4chan /pol/ board weirdos; right along with all the other infringements on bodily autonomy we’ve seen from this regime. We don’t live in “Hell”. We live in the fantasy of the formerly rightfully-ostracized.
4chan /pol/ board weirdos
This is literally who you’re allowing to run your country
just look at the executive agencies. it’s not exactly secret when the executive branch is posting edgy shitposts. like, chain-posting shitposts.
As much as I want to say this isn’t true, I really can’t.

You’re telling me the party that actively wants to destroy women’s rights while supporting a pedophile in office would… try to do things that pedophiles and rapists would like? Say it ain’t so! /s
They call us groomers, but conservatives want to look at little kid’s junk before they can play sports. Fucking gross
“but conservatives want to look at little kid’s junk
before they can play sports.”FTFY 🙂
They’re going to auction off government positions for the new child genital inspecters to the highest bidders.
Why do these perverts care so much about children’s private parts?
Fucking pedos
or an analysis of testosterone levels in the blood
Fun fact: that’s not a sex test because cis girls also produce testosterone, sometimes at heightened levels comparable to some cis boys. That’s just how biology does.
Some cis males also produce little testosterone. Look at Clavicular.
I feel like that jackass has probably rat fucked his biology with the shit he puts in his system so bad example.
This is being done by the IOC now. This regulation will force many women athletes whom are known to have high levels of testosterone naturally, to be forced out of women’s events.
EDIT: If you aren’t aware, the IOC announced a ban on transgender women participating in women’s events in April.
But wait, I thought all this was to protect cis women in sports!
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??? no choice but to MAKE SURE YOU AIN’T SMUGGLING ANY BALLS ONTO THE COURT!
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 (tho I similarly cannot envision a world in which Ferguson would ever pass this. Guy’s pretty decent.)
I really cannot see this ever passing
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.
an analysis of testosterone levels in the blood
Uh, wouldn’t this make trans girls test as girls and trans boys test as boys?
Like, don’t tell them if so, because it’s absolutely funnier that way.
for girls, it depends on the type of HRT. Some trans-fem HRT lowers the production of testosterone; other HRT blocks the body from using testosterone, and can actually increase T levels as a result (but without the typical symptoms of high testosterone).
And that’s the result of religious ppl off you.
The problem is these perverts spend far too much time thinking about children and their genitals.
Partly became their religion is cool with it.
That’s what the conservatives behind all this anti-queer stuff actually intended: they want to see and fondle kids genitals.
We need to start referring to these people as PACs… Pedophiles Against Competition.
Leave those kids alone you ghouls. What a fucking dark stretch of time.
