I commented on a tweet about HB 1475 that provides ground rules on how students can play in athletic sports in certain institutions.
Of course, #GymJordan didn’t help write this bill, but I was still curious.
Here’s additional comments about if you’re interested.

And here’s the text. Essentially, if there is a dispute regarding sexual orientation, coaches don’t get to “look” at someone’s penis or body, a healthcare professional or provider must provide verification.
Essentially, the healthcare provider has been put on notice now.

And of course there has to be CIVIL remedies for relief in case you fall into the category of telling authorities about the problem but also if you are tagged with the problem.
So, you can sue....someone......somewhere......

AND Protection of Educational Institutions are also part of this.
None of this makes sense.

And finally, this. It’s almost like people are being told they must squeal on others to verify a sex for sports, but people can also take action to fight back, and if the institution loses, they have to pay damages.
Why would a school do this?
