For Kelsey Gellner, a Seattle-based pediatric nurse, a statewide proposal to bar trans girls from sports participation feels like a violation of her duty as a medical professional. The ballot initiative includes a requirement she calls “invasive and extreme”: all students who wish to compete on girls’ teams would have to undergo genital exams.
“I tell my kids and patients that my No 1 job is to keep them safe,” said Gellner, who is also a board member of the Washington State Nurses Association. “I can say with confidence that girls do not want to have an unnecessary exam that creates an unsafe barrier.”
This has always been the inevitable outcome of going down this path. I hate to say it but these reactionaries won’t understand until it’s their own children being forced to choose between playing sports or not getting assaulted by school sports officials who want to “check their genitals”.
They don’t want girls doing sports. Or anything besides playing with dolls to prepare for when they get baby trapped by a chud around 16-24.
As late as 16? Doubt.
Idk there’s a large contingent of conservative sports dads and moms who just don’t want to pay taxes
