Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez claimed that all women will have to face genital examinations if biological men are banned from competing in female sports.
The 'squad' member spoke out at Tuesday night's House Oversight Subcommittee on Health which discussed the topic of gender participation in competitive sports.
AOC, 34, said there were multiple proposals that would marginalize transgender Americans and claimed that questioning athletes' gender would open up women and girls to 'genital examinations'.
'We are talking about opening up all women and girls to genital examinations when they are underage, potentially just because someone can point to someone and say, I don't think you are a girl,' Ocasio Cortez said.
'And we're saying this in an environment of a post-Dobbs America,' the New York Democrat said. 'Where states are criminalizing access to abortion and want nothing more than data on women to figure out when, who's getting a menstrual cycle, who doesn't have one, and we're supposed to believe this is going to make us better and safer?'
'I think not, and, per usual, I don't believe we're sitting here on a panel of men that has actually thought about the biology and privacy consequences of all women, trans or cisgendered,' AOC finished.
Rep. Summer Lee - who is the ranking member of the House Oversight Subcommittee on Health agreed with AOC, saying that women testifying against biological males playing in women's sports is 'transphobic'.
Women's sports advocate and NCAA swimming legend Riley Gaines hit back 'if my testimony makes me transphobic…your opening monologue makes you a misogynist.'
Lee quickly moved to have Gaines remarks withdrawn for 'engaging in personalities' rather than the substance of the debate.
'I move to have the gentlewoman's words taken down' Lee appealed to the chair.
After a brief pause in proceedings Lee withdrew her point...

Perfect example of reductio ad absurdum.
Hey occasional cortex, a simple blood test, or birth certificate would suffice, but nooooo, you had to go all perv. Ya perv.
She (censored) her way through college. Had to.
I think the obvious is far to hard for AOC to understand.
She has never heard of DNA testing?
I thought student athletes had to have an annual physical exam anyway? You’d think a doctor could check a box during the physical. Or is she saying no more medical exams to make sure your kid is fit enough to participate in sports?
Miss Cortez should undergo the horrors of a DOT Commercial Driver Physical ...
They are trapped in a corner and don’t know what lie to tell.
Summer Lee is my rep, Pittsburgh, (Pa-12).
She’s a bitter racist, communist beeotch.
>I thought student athletes had to have an annual physical exam anyway? <
Every sport I ever participated in during my school years required a physical. In order to not burden the poorer families with the cost, all physicals were given by a school supplied doctor.
We are left to conclude that AOC never participated in any sport but hiding the professor’s wienie. It explains her degree in economics with no retained knowledge.

The moniker female needs to confirm some things herself starting with a brain.
True enough. Ones first genital exam occurs on that day
Make it simple. Don’t separte the genders, make it one team. The entire complaint of title IX of 1972 prohibits discrimination based on sex in any education program or activity that receives federal financial assistance. As long as there is no women’s or men’s program and it is created for both, then it is not discriminatory. To my knowledge, there is no progrm that women cannot compete against men in the NCAA or national federation that is not locally applied. Yet there are programs men cannot utilize as they don’t exist like field hockey and softball to go along with the already joint competitions not on the radar like equestrian.
Forget about the chromosomes, apply the sports to both concurrently. That is true equality. Separate but equal has never been less than a con job nor more than BS.

ALL children have already had a genital examination. It’s written on their birth certificate. Once is all that is necessary. If anyone chooses to dispute that finding, they should be the only ones examined.
Quite right!
1. All schoolchildren and (college-age) sports students engaging in competitive sports are already required to undergo a medical examination.
2. In almost all instances, any ordinary Joe off the street can easily distinguish between a normal person and a transsexual.
3. AOC is inventing / conjuring up gnats to strain at.

She’s not a biologist.
Don't know what the girls did since they all filed down on a separate day.
I, for one, would have felt much safer during my dating days if I had known this in advance.
A "heads-up" about PMS would have been handy, too.
Regards,
Right, it couldn’t be otherwise. Because the crazies would say, ‘The doctor can’t make that call for my child’. 😁
Why does AOC HATE the idea of women having their own sports? Perhaps she HATES women in general, and regrets ever being born a woman?
Maybe she watched “Kindergarten Cop” the previous evening and she remembered that line from one of the students.
