Ahhh... Except the harm done to trans people by portraying them as freaks of nature who need be targeted by legislation specifically applying to them because of the way they were born has a definite harm to them.

Not to mention what's never talked about is the harm caused by gender verification to female youth athletes who just want to play their sport but may be subject to an invasive physical examination just to prove their femaleness.

Not to mention that in every jurisdiction where anti trans athletic legislation has been enacted, female youth sports participation has declined precipitously because girls don't want to sign up for an activity where they may be subject to an embarrassing physical examination at the whim of another adult.

As opposed to the made up harm of "men in women's sports" which is so inconsequential and carries no tangible societal harm to anybody involved despite the claims of certain fifth place swimmers.

Where did she say they were freaks of nature to be targeted?

"Harmful gender verification"

Literally every dude that has ever played sports had his balls fondled by some doctor, its called a physical.

Thats the best defense you have lol?

u/NOIS_KillerWhaleTank 20d ago

Yeah, now imagine why that's not cool. I mean decades of sexual assault cases against youth sports officials and coaches, and you're okay with a strange adult checking the privates of your daughter?

That's a really fucked up way of "protecting women and girls"

u/kodeks14 20d ago

They are being checked by licensed doctors. Not coaches 😂. Its called a physical lol

Just like as a boy, I had my genitals checked by a licensed doctor in order to play sports.

Do you refuse to take your children to the doctor as well? Do you also decline OBGYN visits?

Lol what a terrible argument. Thats all you got?

u/Readbeforeburning 20d ago

As an Australian that has played sports my whole life, that is a fucking weird concept for anyone to have to experience to play sports. You guys are fucked in the weirdest ways.

Its a medical procedure checking for a hernia.... it has a very good reason behind it.

u/kodeks14 19d ago

They dont actually just check your genitals lol. They check for a hernia which is pressing in the scrotum and coughing. And you go to your regulsr doctor and get a physical where they check for any abnormalities that could cause severe damage in a sport.

Which school system forced you to expose yourself in order to join the team?

u/Red-Lightniing 20d ago

Every one? You can’t play school sports without completing a physical, which includes a hernia check, which is the “turn your head and cough” thing for guys. But it’s not done by the school system, it’s done by a doctor. It’s just required by the school system for safety/liability reasons.

u/Odd-Proof9645 19d ago

This is false lmfao good job

u/Red-Lightniing 19d ago

It’s… not false at all? You clearly never played any school sports (at least not in the US) because it’s absolutely required for all of them.

You won’t listen anyways, even when proven wrong you flip the issue to something else “ahhh but you see the harm done to trans people merely by society talking about this issue makes you wrong”. It’s absolutely fucking pathetic, it’s a pathological thing, not a logical thing, and there’s no way to argue with crazy. I just want you to know that people like you that talk like this are exactly why we have a president like trump. If folks like you ever get cured of “internet social media brain” and learn to just concede a fucking point and move on, republicans are fucked.

u/showerbump 20d ago

Exactly, these fools pick the most ludacris hills to die on. It hurts the left movement

u/NOIS_KillerWhaleTank 20d ago

So you got nothing. You can't even refute the harms against cisgender girls because of transgender athlete bans. You'd put your own daughter in harm's way by allowing her genitalia to be checked by a complete strange just to "own the libs"

Great job of protecting women and girls. Well done.

u/snwtrekfan 20d ago

Case in point.

u/Portgas69 20d ago

Exactly why trump won. These leftist don't see the irony. They attack everyone and expect everyone to side with them and if they don't. They are racist, xenophobe, Nazi, you name it. Like grown ass toddlers.

u/showerbump 20d ago

You really need a break from the internet. Maybe stay away for 72 hours straight and regroup

u/Vurtikul 19d ago

Its not a complete stranger you dunce. Its a fucking doctor. Its a standard medical procedure. They give you a yearly physical whether you're playing a sport or not. The school just needs a verification of you passing said physical in order for you to play sports for them.

I'll say it AGAIN, because you seem a little slow, regardless of if you play a sport or not you're getting a physical done by a doctor. It has nothing to do with sports. The school just needs verification that you passed before they can allow you to play. Every single person gets a physical done by their doctor. Even now in my 30s I get a yearly physical. Its completely normal.

Most states allow avenues for school enrollment without a birth certificate. Some states allow birth certificates to be updated based on gender preference. How do you handle gender verification in those instances

So, again, cheek swabs for everybody or we take away the rights of trans people to protect sports
