  • Initiative 638 is a 2026 ballot initiative proposing the amendment of Washington state law. The initiative would require students participating in K-12 sports to submit medical documentation that verifies their “biological sex” as female. This would prohibit transgender girls from competing in school athletic activities intended for females, and would require healthcare providers to verify a student’s biological sex to determine eligibility. -Wikipedia

    Does the text of Initiative 638 mention genital checks? It appears to be about making participation in sports based on sex, which may only involve a cheek swab to determine. there is enough fear going around without worrying about things the initiative doesn’t say

    Unfortunately, Planned Parenthood and the ACLU are pro-child marriage and they spend big to keep it legal.

    Children have a right to marry, the ACLU argues, and stripping them of that right would take away a pathway to their emancipation and independent healthcare decisions. For Planned Parenthood, the freedom for children to marry is about allowing people reproductive choice and bodily autonomy.

    But their efforts have repeatedly failed in California, where Planned Parenthood and the ACLU have lobbied hard against restricting child marriage, although those groups have largely stayed silent on the issue in other Democratic-controlled states.

    In a June opposition letter, the organization wrote, “Prohibiting minors from marrying in every case is a departure from California’s longstanding commitment to honoring minors’ ability to make important personal decisions for themselves, particularly in the realm of reproductive autonomy.”

    These two organizations are entirely misled and spreading misleading information on this issue and are harming kids (vast majority are young girls) with that rhetoric above. Emancipation and reproductive autonomy should not be tied to marriage in the first place.
