GOP Lawmaker Refuses to Prove His Gender
May 21, 2025 at 9:10 am EDT By Taegan Goddard


Michigan state Rep. Jason Woolford (R) — who has sponsored legislation that requires children to “prove their gender” when asked — refused to answer when a colleague, Rep. Mike McFall (D), asked if he was transgender.

Said McFall: “I want to know, how does a 14-year old girl prove whether or not she is trans to a 50-year old coach?

2. Whatever happened with Republican's belief in the right of privacy and concerns with government overreach

just like they never believed in states rights.

They just need excuses for legislation that doesn't fly on it's own merits.

17. For Republicans "government overreach" only applies to taxation and business regulation...and guns.

A child has to prove their gender when asked? I’m trying to think how this is anything except a very perverse and sexually sick idea.

It’s quite possible that an XY person has androgen insensitivity syndrome and phenotypically presents as very feminine, including female external genitalia. It’s only after not having menstruation and several visits to a doctor that it’s discovered that the person has testicles, no uterus, and basically a depression for a vagina.

Not sure their specifics but basically a more masculine female. Everybody starts female and hormones sort out one way or the other and things can and do get blurry with some individuals. I pray we can find a way to integrate them like the Native Americans do calling them Twin Spirits, they are used to help mediate gender and relationship issues in their band.

Djt has done it one thousand times. The younger they are - the better.
If you are rich and famous you get away with it. His buddy Jeff Epstein taught him the ropes.

Being a teenager is hard enough. They shouldn't be subjected to such crass humiliation and degradation. Meanwhile, it sounds a bit perverted to me.
