not normally a fan of Raw Story, but I like that their headline frames this fucking thing correctly.
this is the "GOP megadonor Brian Heywood thinks your 5 year old girl needs a genital exam before she can play soccer with her friends" act of 2026.

IL26-638 would bar transgender athletes from girls' teams by mandating that a health-care provider certify a player's sex assigned at birth, using genetic screening, testosterone testing or an examination of reproductive anatomy as part of the annual sports physical every young athlete already undergoes
That's fucking gross.
Sounds like they're trying to use transgender people to discourage Cisgender girls from sport.
Which is interesting because the "Save women's sports" people have pivoted to "women shouldn't play sports because fertility".
Interesting how that works.
Why the fuck are these creeps so fucking concerned with what other people have between their legs? I am an ultra horny pansexual and even I ain't that obsessed over genitals.
It's purely about power, and their hope to dissuade girls from participating in sports, either by making them uncomfortable, or their parents.
