You go in the middle of the locker room and in order to have a urine test done, they watch you in full sight.”īut the way I read the bill, any student could be forced to go through these tests by simply being accused of being transgender. “I can tell you that from being an NCAA athlete, we were subject to both random drug screening by the NCAA and random drug screening by Villanova University. “The spirit of intent of my bill would be just to make sure that before any athlete ever stepped on the field, that they have seen a doctor and they are in fact a biological female,” Testa, who played Division 1 tennis in college, said. Michael Testa (R-Cumberland), told me he doesn’t have a problem with that language but would be open to compromise if Democrats are willing to take up the bill. But testosterone checks and genetic analyses? In fairness, I can think of instances in which a doctor, having seen a student before, can attest to what their genitals look like without having to do a new exam (though a doctor told an Ohio newspaper that it’s not standard practice). The sex check requirements are virtually identical, and it’s really not clear if a student would have to undergo just one of them or all three. That includes New Jersey’s “Fairness in Women’s Sports Act,” which would apply to high school and college athletes. Virtually identical sex check requirements are in bills that have passed or been proposed around the country. Here’s the thing: That language isn’t unique to Ohio.

Anyone accused of being transgender would just have to present a doctor’s note indicating the student’s sex based on: Their internal and external sexual anatomy, their “normal endogenously produced levels of testosterone” and an “analysis of the participant's genetic makeup.” It’s that easy! The Ohio House of Representatives last week got some national media attention for passing a bill to keep transgender kids out of girls’ sports.
