GOP Senator introduces bill that could require genital exams for girls competing in school sports

Source: lgbtqnation.com



Sen. Kelly Loeffler's bill to ban transgender girls from school sports is meant to "protect women," she says. But with federal funding on the line, there could be unintended consequences.

By Alex Bollinger Wednesday, September 23, 2020 32 Comments


Sen. Kelly Loeffler (R-GA) introduced a bill that would ban transgender girls from competing in school sports with their gender, threatening federal funding to schools that support transgender students.

Loeffler introduced the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act in the Senate and said that it “protects [cisgender] women and girls,” presumably from transgender women and girls.



The bill would explicitly state that allowing transgender girls and women to compete with their gender in school sports violates Title IX’s ban on discrimination on the basis of sex in schools, which is the legal theory the Trump administration is already using to threaten funding for school districts.

Loeffler’s bill, which says nothing about transgender boys competing in boys’ and men’s sports, says that “sex shall be recognized based solely on a person’s reproductive biology and genetics at birth” in girls’ and women’s sports.

into the underpants of every little girl who wants to participate in athletics at school? Sounds like a picnic for pedos and a huge disincentive for girls in sports.

the same ALEC that provided legislative templates for forced dildo-cams (transvaginal ultrasounds) for women in PA who wanted an abortion. And yes they are still around and wreaking havoc, but no longer hiding their RW loonery.

It failed in the regular session so idiot governor called a special session so they could try again. The second effort failed also because business was against it and I think some organizations threatened to cancel business meetings if the state passed the law. Of course, the nutcases gave no thought to the policing of the law, other than perhaps secretly getting their jollies from the idea of grownups getting to check the genitals of children before allowing them to use the bathroom. The other option would be forcing kids to carry birth certificates. There would be a good business started by enterprising kids to forge birth certificates!

These kids are such a small percentage of the population, and they have idiot adults deliberately making their lives harder. Sheer political meanness and overactive sexual imaginations with latent perversion.

It's about the centuries old war against women. They come for the genitalia, stay for the whole autonomous free willed human. They've always gotten enough sellouts like Laughlin to hide behind for plausible deniability.

They are relentless. And we have to drive them the fuck out of the halls of governance.

I guess the next time a right-winger calls you a SJW (Social Justice Warrior), the proper response would be to call them a PVV (Pubescent Vagina Violator).
