Do other states ask their female student-athletes about their menstrual history?
Texas school districts also ask female-athletes very similar questions about their menstrual history. In several school districts—including in Austin, Dallas, Houston and Fort Worth—the questions are mandatory to complete, according to The Dallas Morning News.

Many other states require student athletes to undergo a physical examination from a healthcare provider, but they generally only ask the provider to share a signature affirming that the athlete is in good health, rather than turn personal health history over to the school.

Of course Abbutt and Dan Patrick want to know about high school girls cycles.

1. I've never heard of it, I think this is just awful

Do any of these guys have daughters? Oh my God! what A thing to make a girl do. I can only conclude they want to discourage them from playing sports altogether. They never liked title IX. Infuriating. Every press conference somebody should ask Ron DeSantis when his wife’s last period was. As well as all the other politicians who have made their bones on forced birth

2. Agree 100% Walleye

I think hardcore conservatives don’t think women should play sports, at all. Might disrupt their baby making abilities doncha know.

3. Plus some girls are really talented athletes, don't want the boys to feel too bad

about themselves by comparison. Got to protect those white boys fragile egos you know, especially in the southern schools. And they definitely don’t wanna have to compete against girls cause they might get beat

5. You're right, I never thought of that

Also maybe they think sports makes girls into lesbians. I had an aunt that thought that way.

6. I'm thinking everyone completing the form should just put whatever

comes to mind. Just lie about every question.

Or, teammates could all put the same dates on their forms, true or not. Just bullshit them.

Maybe every team member could claim they hadn't reach menarche yet.

What are they going to do, try to prove they didn't have those stated cycles?

[Walleye]

7. That sounds like a good plan. It's none of their business. They could be on the pill

[Diamond_Dog]

8. I'd hate to think they would be made to show proof ...

But with those fascists you can never go low enough

[whathehell]

15. It may need a legal challenge..

Right to privacy, anyone?

4. desantis is going to out nazi Abbott no matter what.

Too bad abbott couldn't wear tall white rubber boots without giving away the running bet they have with each other. 🤡
This latest insanity test might be to identify trans students and single them out for more harassment.

9. The Linked form from FL in the article

Contain the same info on the forms my daughter and my former female athletes from my swim coach days filled out on their health forms here in CA.

[Poiuyt]

10. I don't understand the purpose of these questions?

Is it just so they can out transgender students?

[whathehell]

14. I don't either..What REASON is being given for this?

I'm not getting it at all.

[Timeflyer]

11. In FL political climate and DeSantis push to privatize public education and limit women's right

to control their bodies, it's way too dangerous to disclose this info. about a minor to the state. Don't trust this administration--they'll weaponize anything that serves their political ambitions.

[Ziggysmom]

12. Do they ask the boys if they can ejaculate or have nocturnal emissions? Just as embarrassing!

[whathehell]

16. Good point..

This has to be one of the most egregious invasions of privacy ever proposed by a school.

[poli-junkie]

13. They'll start this menstrual cycle

tracking with female athletes, then they’ll turn to ALL females. This is their “in” to monitor ALL female movement.

Where is the outrage?!!!
