I had to go back to the article to see what you are on about. Of course its being done by medical providers. I didnt leave that out on purpose, I’ll concede that some people might find that relevant, and it wasnt my intention to “hide” it.

I did in fact play sports as a kid. I was assigned female at birth and never had genital inspections. The only time a doctor got anywhere near my vagina was when i was old enough to start seeing a gyno a and get a pap smear when i was in college.

I edited nothing, I copied what was there straight from ballotpedia.

Women dont generally get their first pap smear until 21. Unless there is an issue that needs inspection girls dont generally have to go through genital inspections.

Your proof is one article about a political stunt by a guy who doesnt identify as trans making a statement to discredit a trans athlete that transitioned with hormones and surgery 20 years before the event?

I read your reply, but disagree with the concern parents have being valid, because its unfounded. There is no scientifically backed proof of trans individuals having an advantage in sports, and trans kids getting gender affirming care are often placed on hormone blockers. The hormones involved in teenagers also wildly fluctuate. I agree with the premise of weight class, but the “concern” parents have about their little girl playing against a big scary “man” with teenage testosterone muscles (their words, not yours, before you say I’m putting words in your mouth) is fueled by misinformation about trans individuals, gender affirming care, and the amount of impact these individuals even have in sports. and as a result we now have genital inspections for kids.

I dont think people falling for fearmongering is a valid concern, and I think we shouldn’t be coddling this kind of concern any more than we should tolerate racist concerns.

Its required, and is in the initiative.

“the student’s biological sex [based on]… reproductive anatomy, genetic makeup, or normal endogenously produced testosterone levels.”

It requires either a hormone test, visual inspection, or blood test, and guess which of those is the cheapest to get?

Are the record breaking trans athletes in the room with us? Please share who they are

So you’d vote for mandatory genital inspections for girls? Because thats what this vote did.

The article isnt about that, its about rigid gendernorms. You didnt even read it

In defense of steal like an artist, its more of a self help book about learning to like the process of making things, not literally about how to steal art.

Hilariously its also very anti AI

My homelab is a learning tool that became useful enough to keep some things alive. It started with a raspperry pi and docker and has evolved to multiple systems with backups and some decently complex networking.

Ive always seen a “homelab” as different from a “home server”. Homelabs are meant to be fucked up as you learn things. Have a home lab long enough and you end up with a test lab and production environment.

My mother in law actually surprised me by asking if the family group chat could switch to signal. I wasnt going to bother her about it because i assumed shed hate it since shes bad with technology. It was a pleasant surprise.

The fact that this is not already happening sucks. Why wait
