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.”
There are people here comparing this to a physical examinations and tailor fittings, saying there’s really no difference.
Pretty sure that is a joke from an old Friends episode.

Fair enough, I didn’t realize the inseam comment and the original one comparing these proposed genital exams to a hernia check were from a Friends episode. For a minute it seemed like people were equating physical health checks for sports to these genital exams.
