Law & Crime: Florida House Passes Bill Banning Transgender Women Student-Athletes and Allowing for ‘Genital Inspections’
The GOP-led Florida House of Representatives voted 70-44 pass HB 1475, banning transgender female athletes from competing on women’s athletic teams in both high school and college.
One of the most controversial parts of this bill is a provision that allows a third party to examine an athlete’s genitals.
The Florida House just passed an anti-trans bill regarding athletics in schools. This bill includes *genital checks* of children and will likely be signed into law. It's disgusting and wrong and we need to vote out anyone who supported this. Just so wrong.
