Yesterday, the West Virginia House of Delegates approved an amendment from Del. J.B. Akers ® to allow a child’s “treating health care provider” to examine a child’s genitals without the consent of their parents.
The amendment was actually an improvement over a previous version of the bill, which, state Democrats argued, would have allowed teachers to perform the genital examinations.
Akers’ amendment was the Republican response to one proposed by Del. Kayla Young (D), which would have banned child and adult genital examinations altogether.
“It’s unconscionable that Republicans would support legislation that authorizes intrusive visual inspections of minors without parental approval,” Young said. “West Virginians should be alarmed and disgusted by this invasion of privacy.”
It also says that all intersex people are “either male or female” but does not give a basis for assigning a sex to them.

That’s called pedophilia
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.
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
So much for Parents Rights.
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.
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.
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.
Genital Obsession Party
Oh, come on, it’s just a ChildS exAM
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
