Personally, I think restrictions like this are ignoring founding principles of our country, ie the freedom of the people and individualism.

I think it's extremely telling that laws are being passed to control a small % of the population that makes the GOP uncomfortable.

Apparently children in Kansas can now be required to undergo state mandated genital inspections to make sure they aren’t competing with the wrong gender.


Imagine being a parent and being told the school must inspect your daughter’s vagina before she can play softball.

They'll just say that liberals pushed the envelope too far and that "they had no other choice but to push back."

They voted for this. It is what it is.

I never get this. When it’s pointed out that conservatives are doing something fucked up a very common response is ‘but they will lie about it’.

Yes, they will. Who cares what they say though? Is the idea they were going to say ‘you got me, and I would have gotten away with it too if it weren’t for you meddling kids!’ or something?

But something had to be done about the... quarter of a dozen trans girls playing sports in their state!

I think there could be an equal protection defense against these anti-trans laws. Ex what if states banned plastic surgery?

States could likely ban plastic surgery if they wanted to. That being said it seems like there might be something there as these laws presumably say something to the effect of ‘breast implants are okay if your biological sex is female but not if it is male’ and they sort of logic has lost quite recently in related cases.

Are these state child genital inspectors required to be youth pastors too?

Well, they won't have to get into those embarrassing situations, which is the point.
