We found the real freaks. I wonder if the Pizzagate/Qanon dipshits have figured it out yet: everything the qons do is about projection.
This is stupid as fuck, right, but who doesn't accompany their child into the doctor's office?
Like there are no circumstances under which I'm leaving my child alone with an adult who may examine their genitals and having had child safety training myself just being alone with a child that isn't yours is a terrible idea altogether.
I think part if the motivation here would be to allow the doctor present at a school to determine whether a child is participating in the correct sex-appropriate placement. Like using the correct locker rooms or bathrooms in case teachers or other students bring up an issue (for example if a boy were to go into a girl's locker room and claim to really be a girl). Since appearance doesn't line up with sex in many cases nowadays, the inspection would be to determine the real sex of the individual. Some school activities will involve nudity (changing before entering a swimming pool, communal showering after a sports match or gym class, etc.) so the authors of this were initially pushing for any teacher (such as the supervisor in a locker room or the teacher of the associated class) to be able to inspect/determine the sex of the individual.
So... under no circumstances are they going to bring doctors into schools to perform these inspections?
'Doctors' like someone who passed med school, flunked out of residency and couldn't land a practicing job anywhere they were so god awful.
But they are a doctor!
Maybe not even a doctor of medicine at all, or they were disbarred.
I got my doctorate in smelling shit at this online university!
I suppose that hadn't occurred to me because I live in a country where, if that were to happen, I couldn't imagine the level of social unrest it would cause.
It's just beyond reason.
So republican parents are ok with strangers inspecting their child’s genitals without their consent?
Well that law will never on MY KIDS.
I'm so damn glad I'm not a parent. There's no fucking way I wouldn't pulverize someone's limbs into paste if they touched my child.
Cops already do it to black kids. One girl was on her period and they made her bend over and cough and everything.
Parent here. You sound like parent material.
Only a fucking piece of trash thinks it's ok for a teacher to look at a kid's junk, regardless of if the parents give consent.
Former teacher here. Any teacher that would comply with such an order to inspect is also a fucking piece of trash.
Once our assistant principal went on a witch hunt about enforcing uniform compliance. He wanted us all to inspect socks to ensure they were the right color. Turns out the color of my kids' socks doesn't impact the learning environment, so no, we aren't wasting class time on this.
So no, I'm not inspecting genitals. And if there is a move to do such a thing at school, I'd spend the entire class time calling parents letting them know what's going on.
Keep republicans away from my children
What level are they allowed to view? If the child says no are they able to force their way into their pants? At what point does it become rape?
A child cannot consent.
So, immediately. It becomes sexual assault, at least, immediately.
Unless...we can come up with some sort of legislation...totally important and necessary legislation, of course!
You're looking at this problem all wrong, it's not that children cannot consent. Nobody is arguing that. The change here is that now those that would be doing the tests are no longer considered child predators because they didn't do anything illegal. So now it would be totally fine for priests, doctors, senators, neighbors, etc to look at random kids genitals to verify sexuality without any resistance from their parents/guardians. Is this how we finally do away with rapists, by redefining sexual assault.
So now it would be totally fine for priests, doctors, senators, neighbors, etc
"treating health care provider"
Some of these things are not like the others.
So much for Parents Rights.
Genital Obsession Party
Oh, come on, it's just a ChildS exAM
WHAT DO YOU MEAN THIS IS AN IMPROVEMENT
Before it was allowing a republican to be in the room.
Well, you see before it was a random stranger, but NOW it's a random stranger in a lab coat.
It's all a part of making America great.
Oh the irony that the shitheads that couldn't wear a mask, and want to ban books because of "parent rights", now want to ice parents out of the decision of a rando looking at their kids genitals.
But drag queens reading books are the real threat.
It's the pedo enabling act!
It's like they learned the wrong lessons from the US gymnastics team incidents.
This shouldn't surprise anyone. Most pedophiles are Republicans. Now they get to visually molest your kids legally, neat.
A government so small it fits into a child's pants
Can we retrospectively inspect the law makers, just so they can have a lived experience before they next get together to make more crazy laws?
Of course they did, it’s all they think about
Bloody mfers.
traditional family values 😂

Here's the text of the bill that was passed: https://www.wvlegislature.gov/Bill_Text_HTML/2025_SESSIONS/RS/bills/sb456%20sub1%20enr.pdf
Can someone please point out where this language is because I'm not finding it and it tracking the history of this bill, found here, it appears to me that it was removed.
It's an amendment, linked in the article.
Yes, however Akers Amendment from 3/6 was superseded by two other ones from Martin on 3/11 and according to local media coverage the bill that was ultimately signed into law doesn't have Akers stuff in it.
That's why I posted the full text of the legislation that was actually signed into law. There's no "amendment" or text that I can find in that legislation that matches the stuff from Akers. It looks to me like Martin successfully killed Aker's amendments on the 11th of March.
The school nurse is going to be busy checking kids' privates for no good reason.
I haven't seen a public school with the budget for a dedicated nurse in decades. It's going to be the vice principal or some other shitty non medically trained scum. Not that it would be less invasive from a nurse, but i bet it will be worse with random assholes deciding how it goes. This is truly fucked.
An amendment introduced by House Judiciary Chair J.B. Akers on March 6 would have allowed medical professionals to “to visually or physically examine a minor child for purposes of verifying the biological sex of the child without the consent of the child’s parent, guardian, or custodian.”
That amendment was adopted into the bill.
Before officially passing the Senate, Senator Patrick Martin (R - Lewis, 12) proposed two further amendments, one of which clarifies “that the article does not authorize certain examinations of minor children.”
Senator Martin’s amendment nullified Delegate Akers’ amendment, thereby excluding it from the final bill.
SB 456 was passed by the Senate Tuesday 32-1 with one Senator absent for the vote. In the House, 90 delegates voted in favor, eight opposed, and two were absent.
That amendment doesn't nullify shit. It's waffle language. When the court cases eventually come up over this, judges will shrug and say that it doesn't clearly forbid it, so it's fine. Mark my words.
Something to do down in those otherwise unused pizza restaurant basements.
