Let’s be honest.

There is something a little questionable about middle aged men trying to pass laws that make their looking at high school student crotches not only mandatory, but financially lucrative.

It is bad enough that a political party that has a hard time accepting science and brags about it, wants to base laws on that lack of  their knowledge just so they can look where they have no business looking because anything to do with gender and gender identity is somehow consistently all about toilets.

The GOP in Virginia is pushing a measure that would require schools to make sure that children are using the restroom corresponding to their “correct anatomical sex”.

“Anatomical sex” is defined as “the physical condition of being male or female, which is determined by a person’s anatomy.”

Regardless of your reality, if you have a penis, even if it was the result of the wrong chemical at the wrong time during gestation, you are a boy. What they see is what you are.

Now the deniers of most things science may feel this is all cut and dry, but they do not understand what gender actually is beyond what can be physically seen or determined by those who reject science.

Now, as studies go, one of the best ones on the topic, best because there really are so few, has found that about 10% of students suffer some form of sexual abuse during their school careers.

The study commissioned by the American Association of University Women found that students between the 8th and 11th grades had experienced lewd comments, exposure to pornography, peeping in the locker room, and sexual touching or grabbing. One in 10 students said they had been victimized by a teacher or other school employee, and two-thirds of those reported the incident involved physical contact.

Nation-wide that figure could be as high as 4.5 million students currently in grades K-12 having suffered some form of sexual abuse by an educator, with more than 3 million instances involving sexual touching or assaults that include inappropriate romantic relationships between teachers and upperclassmen, and pedophilia.

Along with this study, another looked at college sociology students and estimated that nearly half had experienced sexual harassment by a teacher.

Another survey of 4,000 adults had 4.1% reporting inappropriate sexual contact with a teacher during their high-school years, while another study using responses to a questionnaire published in Seventeen Magazine estimated that just 3.7% of children suffer sexual abuse from their teachers.

So, even though it’s clear that a more universally applicable survey needs to be designed to get more consistent results, the ones that exist do show that there is some degree of sexual misconduct when there should be none.

So to make a law that could actually promote and sanction sexual misconduct should be the last thing any state legislature should even consider.

But we have House Bill 663, introduced in Virginia by Republican Delegate Mark Cole, which says that:
“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.”

And,

“Any student who willfully and knowingly violates this section shall be liable for a civil penalty not to exceed $50. Civil penalties assessed under this section shall be paid into the Literary Fund. Any law-enforcement officer may issue a summons regarding a violation of this section.”

This means someone has to look.

As civil rights advocate Tim Peacock points out, this means someone would have to physically inspect the child’s genitals:
“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”.

Cole said his bill does not require genital inspection because any fine would be the result of a complaint that is adjudicated in court.

Someone has to somehow see that someone in a restroom has the wrong plumbing, and file a complaint.

Why are they looking? Shouldn’t that be a concern?

Further, he seems to overlook that the only way to decide on the veracity of the complaint is genital inspection.

Roger Hunt is a Republican State Representative in South Dakota who, along with other Republican lawmakers in the state, is upset over a law that allows students to decide what gender they identify as, and therefore, which gendered group they can compete in when they play school sports.

He proposed a law that says that minor children in our public schools will be forced to submit themselves to an inspection of their genitals by the school district, in order to be qualified to play school sports in whichever gender segment they wish to compete.

Who will do these inspections; who will guarantee the character of those doing them; and who will deal with any trauma that results in the very young as a result of them?
