Yesterday, the West Virginia House of Delegates approved an amendment from Del. J.B. Akers ® to allow a child’s “treating health care provider” to examine a child’s genitals without the consent of their parents.
The amendment was actually an improvement over a previous version of the bill, which, state Democrats argued, would have allowed teachers to perform the genital examinations.
Akers’ amendment was the Republican response to one proposed by Del. Kayla Young (D), which would have banned child and adult genital examinations altogether.
“It’s unconscionable that Republicans would support legislation that authorizes intrusive visual inspections of minors without parental approval,” Young said. “West Virginians should be alarmed and disgusted by this invasion of privacy.”
It also says that all intersex people are “either male or female” but does not give a basis for assigning a sex to them.

That’s called pedophilia
Something to do down in those otherwise unused pizza restaurant basements.
Keep republicans away from my children
WHAT DO YOU MEAN THIS IS AN IMPROVEMENT
Well, you see before it was a random stranger, but NOW it’s a random stranger in a lab coat.
It’s all a part of making America great.
Oh the irony that the shitheads that couldn’t wear a mask, and want to ban books because of “parent rights”, now want to ice parents out of the decision of a rando looking at their kids genitals.
But drag queens reading books are the real threat.
What level are they allowed to view? If the child says no are they able to force their way into their pants? At what point does it become rape?
A child cannot consent.
So, immediately. It becomes sexual assault, at least, immediately.
You’re looking at this problem all wrong, it’s not that children cannot consent. Nobody is arguing that. The change here is that now those that would be doing the tests are no longer considered child predators because they didn’t do anything illegal. So now it would be totally fine for priests, doctors, senators, neighbors, etc to look at random kids genitals to verify sexuality without any resistance from their parents/guardians. Is this how we finally do away with rapists, by redefining sexual assault.

“treating health care provider”
Some of these things are not like the others.
Of course they did, it’s all they think about
So much for Parents Rights.
Only a fucking piece of trash thinks it’s ok for a teacher to look at a kid’s junk, regardless of if the parents give consent.
So republican parents are ok with strangers inspecting their child’s genitals without their consent?
Well that law will never on MY KIDS.
Can we retrospectively inspect the law makers, just so they can have a lived experience before they next get together to make more crazy laws?
This shouldn’t surprise anyone. Most pedophiles are Republicans. Now they get to visually molest your kids legally, neat.
Here’s the text of the bill that was passed: https://www.wvlegislature.gov/Bill_Text_HTML/2025_SESSIONS/RS/bills/sb456 sub1 enr.pdf
Can someone please point out where this language is because I’m not finding it and it tracking the history of this bill, found here, it appears to me that it was removed.

It’s an amendment, linked in the article.
Yes, however Akers Amendment from 3/6 was superseded by two other ones from Martin on 3/11 and according to local media coverage the bill that was ultimately signed into law doesn’t have Akers stuff in it.
That’s why I posted the full text of the legislation that was actually signed into law. There’s no “amendment” or text that I can find in that legislation that matches the stuff from Akers. It looks to me like Martin successfully killed Aker’s amendments on the 11th of March.
Oh, got it. Thank you. Was just responding to where the text in question came from.
Big hell yeah for stopping that, will take whatever dubs we can get right now.
