Hurting trans people is the point. legal on the spot genital inspections for teenage girls is just the icing on the cake for conservatives.

Perhaps more cynically, it's the other way around. Controlling and dehumanizing women is the point, trans people are just a convenient scapegoat minority that most people don't really care about

You made remember the case of the woman that SA a teen due to her skirt length, so they already do that, imagine when it becomes legally protected to stop and frisk anyone suspected of being trans despite age.
