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

[LiberalArkie]

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.

1. We can't regulate banks, but we can regulate your bathroom visits. Vote GOP 2016!

Ah, the small government party

[backscatter712]

4. "Small" government, brought to you by men with small penises... n/t

[Kelvin Mace]

3. I think we need to carefully examine

legislators with a very large, very cold speculum, to see if their head is up their ass.

[Hortensis]

10. Starting with Del. Cole. Men displaying unusual interest in

children's genitals should always raise eyebrows. And I'm actually not joking here. This whole thing strikes me as not just...unseemly, but a bit creepy.

[Kelvin Mace]

17. My thoughts exactly

Any time I hear a politician obsessed with protecting children from "predators", i.e. liberals, gays, hippies, science teachers, etc, I think it is time to have a chat with any children they have access too.

Sadly, my instincts on this have been right a depressing number of times.

[smirkymonkey]

26. I agree. What kind of person even thinks about those things?

Just looking at him, he makes my skin crawl.

[Hortensis]

30. These responses suggest he may really regret this...

[smirkymonkey]

31. If I were the Feds, I would really be trying to get my hands on that guy's hard drive.

I'm sure they would find some "interesting" material.

[Hortensis]

32. Feds or just friends, he had better be clean.

It would be fun to hear some of the chat in teachers' lounges about this proposal.

[demigoddess]

33. I agree totally.

Nothing bad could come of this stuff, now, could it???

[hifiguy]

15. Cranio-rectal impaction

seems epidemic in the Repig party.

[peace13]

5. You first Mr. Cole. Let's have a look at that thing!

Next , we're gonna look inside your head because there must be a screw loose.

[TreasonousBastard]

6. I'd almost like to see this pass...

just to see how schools react to it.

Who checks the genitalia?

[DisgustipatedinCA]

21. There sure will be lots of parents running lots of school administrator skulls into lots of lockers.

Can you imagine being a parent and hearing that the school planned to check your child's genitals? I don't freaking think so.

[Scootaloo]

27. Which may be part of the point

if it passes, schools can either comply - and the parents will blame schools, not the legislators becuase the schools are the acting party. or the schools can NOT comply and people can get fired, unions busted, school boards changed.

I'd like to say that it sounds so absurd that it wouldn't pass. but i can't make such statements on faith anymore.

[DisgustipatedinCA]

28. Jesus, I hadn't even thought in terms this dark, and I'm a pessimist by nature.

You may be right. I didn't wish to make school administrators responsible for this bill they have nothing to do with, but they (and teachers) would likely bear the brunt of such a foolish law.

[GoneFishin]

7. Let's do the same for gun buyers to make sure they aren't rabidly angry and bitter because they drew

a short straw in life.

Not the Onion, huh?

[Kelvin Mace]

18. Post a sign:

"Your penis must be at least this long in order to buy a gun." and disqualify anyone under 12 inches.

[SammyWinstonJack]

34. Ha!

[KamaAina]

8. A-yup.

9. i would be seriously worried about any person...

That is suggesting adults start routinely examining children's body parts. I bet this guy would very much enjoy doing the verification himself. The mere suggestion of this is twisted enough that it is worth looking into. I would start looking into this guy if I were the police.

[Hortensis]

20. We were talking about warning bells being

set off by this upthread. When I was young I blew them off for a while. I thought molestation was very uncommon. Then I learned not to, and now I feel obliged to take them seriously enough to investigate. I'm guessing this has attracted some sharp looks from those around him too.

[GoneFishin]

35. Agreed. Pretty creepy.

[liberal N proud]

11. This is the kind of shit the GOP is excellent at keeping people preoccupied with

Meanwhile they are robbing the cookie jar and giving it away to the rich.

[11 Bravo]

12. He looks like a guy who would enjoy examining preadolescents' junk.

[randome]

16. It's not advisable to make assumptions about someone's appearance but...yeah, he does.

He actually looks very much like someone in my family who truly IS a paroled sex offender.
[hr][font color="blue"][center]Precision and concision. That's the game.[/center][/font][hr]

13. Setting side the pure creepiness,

which is no easy thing, WTF is WRONG with this moran? What's with the obsession? Are the Commonwealth's bathrooms being overrun by transgender kids who are assaulting other kids? Which would be a first in human history. Why are these duck-fucking cave orcs so endlessly obsessed with the genitals of other people. Fucking pervs, the lot of them.

This is a barrel of , not just a can of teh Stoopid.

[Aerows]

41. Who wakes up in the morning and thinks

"Gee my kid might be in the bathroom with another kid of the opposite sex, so the obvious solution is to have my kid expose their genitals to adults every time they use the bathroom"?

[B Calm]

14. More Big Government Republican BS!

[left-of-center2012]

19. Would this apply to high school too?

Haven't we had enough school sex scandals?

[Eleanors38]

22. He wanna be Inspector General.

[steve2470]

23. This has to be the creepiest fucking bill I've ever heard of, bar none! nt

24. Words fail me on this one. This is sick! n/t

[Joe the Revelator]

25. Oh Virginia...go home....you're really drunk.

Signed, A Virginian

[avebury]

29. This sounds like the type if bill that the State of Oklahoma

legislature would pass.

I just get so pissed when politicians waste time and tax payer dollars on crap bills like that.

[lindysalsagal]

36. It's unconstitutional to search a child without just cause. Immediate lawsuits ensue.

That would last as long as it took for the ACLU to send a lawyer to court, meaning by first thing the second morning.

[Aerows]

40. Not to mention

half the parents storming the school demanding to know why little Emily or little Tommy had to expose said genitals to adults every time they go to the bathroom and what a ripe opportunity for pedophiles to get their sick jollies.

This has to be the absolute dumbest thing I've ever heard. "Protect" the kids from another kid that is transgender and going about their business in the bathroom, but throw them to the wolves by making them display their business to a bunch of adults.

What the hell, Virginia?

[lindysalsagal]

37. Isn't Virginia the vaginal probe state?

WTF is wrong with these people?

[Aerows]

38. Oh my goodness.

This isn't going to end up in lawsuits and accusations of sex offenders at school.

This will work out just peachy keen.

[libodem]

39. Just send the all kids through

The airport pornoscreener so all America's genitals can be viewed by special interests.

[blue neen]

42. Oh dear God in Heaven.

What is wrong with this man?

[CTyankee]

43. Oy. Just oy...creep...
