The Virginia GOP is pushing a bill that require schools to make sure
that children are using the restroom corresponding to their “correct
anatomical sex” — something that takes South Dakota state Representative
Roger Hunt’s call for “genital inspections” before children are allowed
to play sports to a whole new level. One in ten students reports sexual
abuse at the hands of an educator between kindergarten and the end of
high school — but in Virginia, we can expect this number to increase
dramatically with a “free pass” being given to teachers to look at
children’s private parts anytime they need to pee.

House Bill 663, introduced by *Republican* Delegate Mark Cole, says that:

Local school boards shall develop and implement policies that
require every school restroom, locker room, or shower room that is
designated for use by a specific gender to solely be used by individuals
whose anatomical sex matches such gender designation.

“Anatomical sex” is defined in the bill as “the physical condition of
being male or female, which is determined by a person’s anatomy.” If it
becomes law, any student violating these downright creepy rules would be
fined $50 — though schools are given some leeway to allow students to
use a “single stall restroom or shower” or have “controlled” access to
an unoccupied restroom (yes, this means they would have a state-mandated
“bathroom buddy” any time they wish to use the restroom). And, as civil
rights advocate Tim Peacock points out, this means someone would have to
physically inspect the child’s genitals:

This is what the conservative movement has devolved into: forcing
children to allow adults to examine their genitals out of misplaced fear
that transgender kids and adults might commit a hypothetical
never-before-seen act of violence or sexual aggression (that would still
be against the law with or without transgender protections).

The bill will also allow law enforcement to fine anyone who uses a
public restroom that does not correspond to their “anatomical sex.”

I suspect a number of Republicans will soon be applying for those school
restroom guardian jobs...


You really need therapy. Reading through what the bill actually says
(which you put in quotes) interspersed with your interpretation of what
it means will happen indicates a serious and distorted firing of your
brain cells.

A simple statement by the kid's doctor on his annual physical
examination prior to the school year or immunization records will meet
the requirements of the bill. Nobody has to be inspecting for genital
evidence at the school and nobody is claiming it does .... except you.

Get some help.
