TOLEDO, Ohio (WTVG) - Democrats and doctors in Ohio continue to speak out against a bill that would ban transgender girls from competing in female sports at the high school and collegiate levels.

The bill passed the Ohio House of Representatives late last Wednesday without votes from Democrats. It now heads to the Senate.

Republicans said the bill is needed to protect the integrity of women’s sports.

Democrats who oppose the bill, including Rep. Beth Liston, who is a physician, led a news conference Thursday morning to explain a section of the bill that has brought with it the most outrage: requiring genital exams for children whose gender is questioned. [snip]

IMPORTANT LEGISLATION - Please watch the video - The features of this State legislation is totally unacceptable. If this doctor is on your ballot for the Democratic candidate for House Rep in the 11th District, please give her your vote! Who knows what further election chaos can ensue. If you value women's reproductive rights and/or LGTBQ issues, please vote for this State House candidate if she's on your primary/general ballots.

Of all the ridiculous, fake "issues" to stir.
When it comes to how someone wants to be gender-identified, I don't know if I could possibly care less and never understood most of conservative's dilemmas. Maybe there's some dipshit religious edicts related to such trivialities? I wouldn't know, I've always dismissed all that superstitious crap.
It seems more the playpen of idiots who just can't mind their own fu**ing business.
Such does motivate me to remind everyone to please prevent irresponsible littering and have your family conservatives spayed or neutered.

Just more hate, out of the party that's given us nonstop hate here in 2022. Of course, these fucking thugs don't care about women's sports.... or women. After all, they sure couldn't waste any time in banning abortion in Ohio. That's why a 10 year old girl had to be taken to Indiana to get an abortion after being raped. Couldn't do it in Ohio.

But, sure... Tell me how THE Ohio State cares about women.

What a bunch of bigoted creeps. Not only being hateful and bigoted, but the genital exam bullshit. Typical QOP wanting to "grab them..."

Speaking of "grabbing"... I'm becoming more and more convinced that Drumpf or some other high-ranking Nazi grabbed a trans women or drag queen, got a surprise, and now want to erase us from existence because they can't handle what they experienced.

Whatever it is... These fuckers need to get a life.
