QuoteVirginia GOP bill would require schools to verify children’s genitals before using restroom

A bill filed by a Virginia lawmaker this week would require schools to be certain that children are using the restroom corresponding to their “correct anatomical sex.”
The legislation, which would prohibit transgender students from using the bathroom matching their gender, is being sponsored by Republican Del. Mark Cole.

House Bill 663 defines “anatomical sex” as “the physical condition of being male or female, which is determined by a person’s anatomy.”
“Local school boards shall develop and implement policies that require every school restroom, locker room, or shower room that is designated for use by a specific gender to solely be used by individuals whose anatomical sex matches such gender designation,” the measure states.
Under the bill, any student who violated the bathroom rules could be fined $50 by law enforcement. Schools would have the discretion of allowing students to use a “single stall restroom or shower” or to have “controlled” access to an otherwise unoccupied restroom.
Cole’s legislation would also allow law enforcement to fine anyone who knowingly used a public restroom that did not correspond to their “anatomical sex.”
Civil rights advocate Tim Peacock noted that “adults would be required to inspect children’s genitals before they use the bathroom” for the legislation to be enforceable.
“This is what the conservative movement has devolved into: forcing children to allow adults to examine their genitals out of misplaced fear that transgender kids and adults might commit a hypothetical never-before-seen act of violence or sexual aggression (that would still be against the law with or without transgender protections),” Peacock wrote.

Jesus H.  Please tell me this story was nicked from The Onion....   even allowing for the 'shock factor' of the leader, it's still bizarre.

Taking a dump used to be easy......  :shifty:

I had to read that for 3 times to check that's what I am reading.

They'll scar kiddies.

I can't think of a better recipe to make children wet their pants or end up with UTIs from trying to "hold it" to avoid embarrassment.

I don't believe it. Can't be true. It's too ridiculous. Please be Onion. Please be Onion.

E: It looks real. At least in the media.

Never thought like that. LOL

I might have to get back into teaching.,........er.....skip that.

Civil War II was about an oppressed minority, just like Civil War I ... in this case oppressed transgenders ;-)

And people wonder why I don't like Republicans.

(And with that post, I'm an Ankylosaurus!)

Despite the best efforts of the adults, when I was a kid, I saw a lot of Virginia's virginia.

OMG what did I just step into?

This is bizarre and I don't see how this could possibly be enforceable. Way to tempt any pedophile teachers asshole!

That settles it.  I'll click on anything!

What are they going do about hermaphrodites?

First they'll have to learn how to spell it...

"Billy, could you please pull your pants down so Mrs. Jackson can see your balls?"

......"so son, what did you learn in school today............."

Although the bill is ludicrous I really hate when people embellish the intention or consequences of a law instead of arguing on actual merits.  This is a law which should be shut down on its merits (or rather lack thereof), not made to look ridiculous by claiming something which the law has no actual intention of doing.  That's a Republican tactic.  That's what people without an argument do.  But, I guess liberals are going to have to start picking up some of the dirty tricks of the right to compete in today's "just tell me how to vote" society.

The problem with a relativistic morality, like we have today ... is that every plan has merits ... even HaShoah.  Mr Gingrich once had a woman on his staff, as historian, who was "fair and balanced" in regard to Nazis.  Arguments won't get you much, when they put you in the cattle cars.  In that case, tell the knuckle-dragger that he made an error in his syllogisms.

Anyone up for protesting this shit? I'm fucking tired of seeing these retarded bigots doing this shit, we need to do something.

Used to call Navy Corpsmen pecker checkers. I transfer title to the school officials in Virginia. Pecker checker vagina monitor? The world is becoming a strange place. 

Teachers, administrators, counselors, reading specialists, speech therapists, and pecker checkers.
