Florida passes bill requiring some girls to undergo genital inspections for school sports
Schools could face lawsuits if they don't force girls to undergo a "health examination" to determine their sex assigned at birth...

Like most state-level bills attacking transgender student-athletes, this bill only bans transgender girls from school sports, not transgender boys. It also affects all levels of education, including the college-level, using language parroted by Republicans across the country about how cisgender girls are being denied scholarships and may be crowded out of sports altogether by transgender students, something that has never happened in any state or in any sport.
But unlike many states, where these bills have either been vague about how sex will be determined or point to birth certificates, the Florida bill says that a female student-athlete’s sex can be disputed. A dispute would require a “health examination and consent form or another statement from the student’s health care provider to verify the student’s biological sex.”
In other words, genital exams even when the young person doesn't want them. Even when they are under the age of consent.
QAnon, where are you? Oh yeah, you're endorsing this creepiness.
