OH GOP Passes Bill Mandating Children Genital Inspection for 'Suspicious' Athletes

MaverickM11 · Fri Jun 03, 2022 4:15 pm

Nothing says small government and definitely-not-pedophiles like groundless child genital inspections. Your daughter run a little too fast? Well pants off missy--Rep Don Jones needs to see what's between your legs.

Insanity.

GOP passes bill aiming to root out ‘suspected’ transgender female athletes with genital inspection
https://ohiocapitaljournal.com/2022/06/ ... nspection/

"House Republican lawmakers in Ohio passed a bill at 11:15 p.m. Wednesday night that would ban transgender girls and women from participating in high school and college athletics. It also comes with a “verification process” of checking the genitals of those “accused” of being trans."

"There is only one transgender girl in the state that is currently participating in high school athletics, according to Equality Ohio and the Ohio High School Athletic Association (OSHAA)."

"If someone is suspected to be transgender, she must go through evaluations of her external and internal genitalia, testosterone levels and genetic makeup."

I suspect it'll be used for girls that are a little too athletic, but more often, a little too pretty.

So much for freedom and not having an intrusive government. Seriously, the problems we have to deal with and they’re worried about a high school track match. Can’t wait for this one to hit the courts when a maybe not optimally feminine chick is subjected to a p***y grab, refuses, and sues.

Newark727 · Fri Jun 03, 2022 5:25 pm

Perhaps the true objective here is to drive business to Ohio's private schools by bankrupting the state's public school system under an avalanche of sexual harassment settlements...

Sounds like the latest thing to try and scare people to vote for them. Sigh…

Politicians here tried this angle too, but nobody listened and instead they got voted out.

https://www.fox19.com/2022/06/02/ohio-h ... ol-sports/

To quote Fox19:

It passed with heavy GOP support 56-28 party-line vote in House Bill 151 [...] The bill also requires:
Transgender female athletes to join male or co-ed teams
Students to get a signed statement from a doctor verifying their biological sex if it is questioned

The bill goes next to the Senate for consideration, but that won’t be happening anytime soon.

Yuck!. The thought of this makes my skin crawl. I know way too many creepy guys in their 30's who constantly check out HS girls. Repulsive! I'm sure Fox will spin this crap by blaming trans people (not if, but when) molestation cases go up alarmingly high after this ridiculous law.

Here in Australia the conservative government ran pretty big on transgender athletes in our recent election campaign as a wedge issue. And lost big time.

Sports need to set sensible rules. Laws like this one in OH are just the right’s authoritarianism on show, with a good helping of creepy fixation.

Did they really lose big or were they the victims of an electoral system where the popular vote isn’t taken into account? 4,651,652 people voted Labor, 5,117,435 voted Coalition. Less people voted Labor in this election than the last election, it makes no sense that they won 77 seats to the Coalition 58 seats. The Greens with 1,730,646 votes should have won more than 4 seats, they were robbed. Australia needs electoral reform.

The problem is that electoral reform only benefits parties who do not have anything approaching a majority.

Nah, no reform needed in Australia. Preferences Friday m other progressive parties went to LAbor. The Libs were savaged, with voters also going to economically conservative but socially progressive independents.

It was a massive win by progressives over conservatives - but the transgender sports issue truly didn’t win votes.

The GOP needs to stop trying to regulate what’s in peoples pants. They are really seeking like perverts.

Well that's extremely depressing. I find no words to express my disgust for this extreme lack of respect for people's integrity.
Who are the people that vote such people in office? Who are the people who support them?
Something is very rotten over there, I hope a fix will be found someday.

It make total sense. Labor voters are spread throughout more districts and therefore edged Coalition voters. Imagine a country with three districts where each has about 10 residents. District A votes 9/10 for Party X and Districts B and C vote 6/10 for Party Y. Total popular vote is Party X got 17 votes and Party Y got 13 votes, but as Party Y won in two districts, they get larger representation.

Such are the oddities of single-member districts. NZ's method is the best of both worlds, where a local representative is elected but also the popular vote is taken into account for final composition, so if Party X wins more districts than Party Y, but Party Y wins the majority of the popular vote (often the result of lopsided margins in some districts), Party Y gets enough seats to control the chamber.

What a load of crap, electoral reform benefits everyone, elections are supposed to be fair and reflect the will of all the people, this doesn't happen in Australia, it doesn't happen in the UK, and it didn't happen in NZ until we changed. IMO the best system out there is what we have in NZ, MMP, where all voters votes count. If Australia had MMP the pasting the Coalition received would not have happened, either the Coalition would have formed a minority govt or Labor and the Greens would have formed a coalition govt.

You forgot to add it gives a voice to people who vote for minor parties that don't win an electorate but do win a percentage of the vote, in NZ this is 5%. Under an MMP system the Australia Green Party would have won approx. 14 seats.

FPP is as daft and undemocratic a system as the Electoral College is in the US.

In both situations how do you decide who is responsible for doing things that you disagree with/went wrong.

Both parties just blame each other. With a single party government there is no hiding.

It is interesting that the self-proclaimed "transgender" athletes tend to be formerly mediocre male athletes who suddenly dominate by competing in the women's divisions, leading me to wonder if any of them are genuinely transgender, or if instead they might be scamming the system in an attempt to grab some glory at any cost.

As for the inspections, well... Unless things have changed dramatically in the last few years, from very early on all male athletes have to submit to regular annual wellness exams which include hands-on "turn your head and cough" hernia checks that also serve as fairly conclusive proof of their gender, and after the first time or two they don't seem to complain about having to undergo them.

How many men do you think are willing to part with their willy for that? I'm not saying they aren't out there...but let's just posit for a minute whether the numbers warrant the hysteria. Reason I ask is...this was brought up in the 1970s with Renee Richards, and it was an argument looking for a problem then.

How many, if any, of the current crop of "transgender" athletes currently making headlines as they set records in women's events have had bottom surgery? As far as I'm aware that's not a requirement to compete in any women's events. I've heard some discussion about checking testosterone levels just before the competitions begin, but there were concerns that this was a one-time thing and not something that would be regularly monitored by sanctioning bodies during training and/or off-season, leaving the door open for dishonest athletes to train with full testosterone then suppress it just before the event. Even if the transgender athletes do maintain low testosterone levels year-round, unlike women they still have the benefit of having grown up and trained on it for many years before transitioning to whatever degree is required.

I don't know how many have had a vaginoplasty. The motion in question seems to imply that it should/will be.

There is one (1) in OH. And given the unmitigated vitriol and violence fomented on the right against them, it's a safe bet no one is doing that willingly.

There's a difference between an annual medial and Jim Bob thinking your *well* underage daughter is a little too fast (or likely too pretty) and needs an on the spot genital examination to confirm his suspicions.

Presumably birth certificates are sufficent to identify probable genetic gender.
Or have we reached the point of:
"Is it a boy or a girl?"
"I don't know. It hasn't decided yet."

You'd suspect the GoP wants to push ahaead an facilitate the "kiddy fiddlers" in other sports.

The right thing is for relevant sporting bodies to consider and implement rules, and to police those rules. This proposed law is still egregiously awful.

They don’t have to part with their willy anymore, that requirement went a long time ago. An athlete can transition whilst remaining intact, have a sporting career then detransition.

I think that what you surmise has to be likely for a few at least.

Bodies fashioned from birth by testosterone are stronger than bodies fashioned by oestrogen. Intervention to amend gender cannot amend that history. Using a historically male body reclassified as a female body is a non-starter for me if the idea is to hold fair competitions.

DH106 · Mon Jun 20, 2022 8:25 am

Perhaps the solution is to categorise atheletes on their birth gender rather than their current. Be whatever you want, but compete only in what you were at birth.

The only reason for this bill is so "girls don't have to compete with boys in girls sports" but what an inspiration it is for girls to compete on boys teams. But, because science, trans girls (girls who were born male but are on HRT to become female) are taking estrogen to replace testosterone so they can become female. There are plenty of peer reviewed science articles about transitioning. It happens to such a small number, relatively, of people and those who are athletes, even fewer. But, gotta inspect children's genitals just because? ew

I think the problem is when transition happens after puberty. They would absolutely have an advantage in many sports.

Have you ever played any sports? Girls don't fair too well when they compete with the boys.

Trans girls don't ever become female, female is biological and no amount of HRT is going to make them female, what they become is males presenting as women, and females presenting as men. You're confusing gender with biology. Your biology, your DNA won't ever change.

I haven't researched it that much, but didn't the article say that the "inspection" is done by a medical doctor? I know my kids have to have a physical and get a signature from the doctor saying they can play sports each year. I don't think this is much different from that, other than the doctor certifying the gender. I think the way you are portraying it is you trying to be sensationalistic.

But, because science, trans girls (girls who were born male but are on HRT to become female) are taking estrogen to replace testosterone so they can become female. There are plenty of peer reviewed science articles about transitioning. It happens to such a small number, relatively, of people and those who are athletes, even fewer. But, gotta inspect children's genitals just because? ew

I haven't researched it that much, but didn't the article say that the "inspection" is done by a medical doctor? I know my kids have to have a physical and get a signature from the doctor saying they can play sports each year. I don't think this is much different from that, other than the doctor certifying the gender. I think the way you are portraying it is you trying to be sensationalistic.

Your kids have to see a doctor before they can play sport each year? Not something that happens in Norway or New Zealand.
