This is so fucked up. No one who voted for this thought this through.
This requires every girl looking to play sports to have their genitals examined. Just the girls. Boys are not subject to this humiliation.
This will lead to sexual assaults.
And every girl that has to endure this humiliating examination will think to themselves “trans people did this.” It’s all in service of creating segregated spaces for TERF politics to breed.
I don’t believe this ad ever ran in Washington state. I so so so wish it had.
“And every girl that has to endure this humiliating examination will think to themselves “trans people did this.””
Nah, kids are smarter than that and it’s pretty damn clear who’s responsible. If I’m trying to predict their thoughts it’d be something more along the lines of “release the Epstein files”
The “male” part of the initiative is the part that just shows how sexist it is. Trans girls can’t play with cis girls, but trans boys are good to play with cis boys. It’s not even unique to Washington. Another person I know from another state entirely has a similar outcome for their trans students in sports. Trans girls are prohibited; trans boys face no issues. I hope a trans boy comes out and is the absolute best on his team. I need to see heads rolling after that.
![Cw: transphobia. Washington passes trans sports bill overwhelmingly, requiring medical checks on all girls [~60% vote in, chance to flip to reject]](https://suppo.fi/api/v3/image_proxy?url=https%3A%2F%2Flemmy.ml%2Fpictrs%2Fimage%2Fd1a45a26-88b9-4d04-9df6-af008c486201.png){kind=link}

This basically requires sexual assaults.
