    I thought physical examinations were standard in sports?

    Bud> Ocasio-Cortez made her claim during the Tuesday House Oversight

    Bud> and women's sports advocate Riley Gaines.

    Bud> The New York Democrat said there were several proposals looking

    Bud> checked if someone disbelieves their stated gender.

    Bud> "We are talking about opening up all women and girls to genital

    Bud> someone can point to someone and say, I don’t think you are a
    Bud> girl," she claimed.

    Bud> "And we're saying this in an environment of a post-Dobbs

    Bud> here on a panel of men that has actually thought about the
    Bud> biology and privacy consequences of all women, trans or
    Bud> cisgendered," the "Squad" Democrat added.

    Bud> Ocasio-Cortez's claim comes almost a year after the Ohio state
    Bud> Senate removed a controversial provision from a state House
    Bud> proposal barring biological men from competing against women,
    Bud> which would have required "internal and external" exams to
    Bud> confirm a student- athlete's gender.

    Bud> Ohio Senate Republicans replaced the provision with a
    Bud> requirement for student-athletes whose gender is in question to
    Bud> "present a copy of the participant's original birth
    Bud> certificate" to compete.

    Bud> "I’m not sure why that’s in the bill, it’s unnecessary,"
    Bud> State Senate President Matt Huffman said about the genital
    Bud> inspection provision in June 2022.

    Bud> "All of these tests can be done with a simple DNA swab,"
    Bud> Huffman added.

    Bud> Tuesday's hearing saw fireworks from the get-go as Gaines, an
    Bud> outspoken advocate of keeping women's sports limited to
    Bud> biological women, fired back at Ocasio-Cortez's fellow
    Bud> "Squad"-mate, Rep. Summer Lee, D-Pa.

    Bud> Lee called Gaines' testimony, as well as the testimonies of the
    Bud> other women leaders looking to restrict women's sports to
    Bud> biological women, "transphobic" in her opening remarks.

    Bud> Gaines blasted Lee, the ranking member of the House Oversight
    Bud> Subcommittee on Health, after the Squad member took her shot at
    Bud> the witnesses' testimony.

    Bud> "There's a place for everybody to play sports in this country,"
    Bud> Gaines said, noting transgender Americans were included in her
    Bud> view. "But unsafe, unfair and discriminatory practices must
    Bud> stop."

    Bud> "Inclusion cannot be prioritized over safety and fairness," the
    Bud> former NCAA swimmer concluded in her opening remarks. "And
    Bud> ranking member Lee, if my testimony makes me ‘transphobic,’
    Bud> then I believe your opening monologue makes you a misogynist."
