Language in the initiative claims that kids are already required to undergo verification of their “biological sex” before they can play sports. But KUOW spoke with medical professionals and a school sports official who said otherwise. Paperwork used by medical professionals in sports physicals also shows that the initiative would be a departure from current state requirements for athletic participation.
According to the initiative, students would have several options to confirm their sex: a visual genital exam, a lab test to determine their genetic makeup, or an analysis of testosterone levels in the blood. The genital exam, which a medical professional can conduct without touching the child, would likely be the most accessible option for most kids.
Fun fact: that’s not a sex test because cis girls also produce testosterone, sometimes at heightened levels comparable to some cis boys. That’s just how biology does.
Some cis males also produce little testosterone. Look at Clavicular.
I feel like that jackass has probably rat fucked his biology with the shit he puts in his system so bad example.
This is being done by the IOC now. This regulation will force many women athletes whom are known to have high levels of testosterone naturally, to be forced out of women’s events.
EDIT: If you aren’t aware, the IOC announced a ban on transgender women participating in women’s events in April.
But wait, I thought all this was to protect cis women in sports!
