This week, Virginia Republican Mark Cole caused quite a stir when he filed a bill suggesting that schools should check the genitals of their students. The purpose of this absurd bill is to make sure that students are using bathrooms corresponding with their "anatomical sex"....
This Chris Rock gif. describes all the thoughts that raced through my mind when I found out about this. Republicans are known to have some pretty outrageous ideas (e.g. Trumps wall to keep Mexican rapists out of the U.S.), but this? Aside from being disgusting, this is invasive and downright wrong. To think that a bill like this is even being thought of in 2016 is quite disappointing. This bill causes one to wonder whether its creators have taking the time to consider the consequences of such a rash proposal. Well here's a lil' preview for ya. In my crystal ball, I see, personal privacy rights being violated, sexual harassment suits, traumatized children and angry parents (which could result in boycotts, more suits, protests, petitions, etc....). And there's nothing scarier than an angry parent. So, if I were Mr. Cole, I'd reconsider proposing such a grotesque bill like this and maybe just crawling back into whatever perverted, transphobic hole I came from.
