Whoa. Republicans sure are getting creepy lately. A Virginia lawmaker made sure he could even surpass the ‘forced transvaginal ultrasound’ level of conservative creepiness by filing a bill which would require schools to be certain that children strictly adhere to designated restroom assignments or they risk being fined.

Del. Mark Cole came up with this nifty idea in order to prohibit transgender students from using bathrooms which matches their current gender.

Perhaps this is some sort of revenge for Ken Cuccinelli, whose platform was almost solely based on making sodomy illegal, losing to Democrat Terry McAuliffe.

Crooks and Liars reports:

The proposed law defines gender as “anatomical sex, mean[ing] the physical condition of being male or female, which is determined by a person’s anatomy.” If students break the law, they are fined up to $50 per infraction. Under that definition, the only way for anyone to determine such a thing would be to examine each student’s genitalia as they enter the restroom. Is that really what Cole thinks public schools should be doing? This is really just an extension of the old fear the right uses against transgendered and gay people, as if they’ve somehow elected their sexual preferences in order to head into the opposite gender’s restroom.

Sounds pretty weird, huh?

Tim Peacock writes:

The legislation even goes so far as to offer punitive measures for those caught breaking the law (meaning someone would physically have to verify someone is in the bathroom that does not correspond to the current state of his/her physical genitals):

The bill’s language uses the term “anatomical sex” to mean “the physical condition of being male or female, which is determined by a person’s anatomy.”

The only way to verify this upon entering the school bathroom would be to physically get all up in there to check each student’s genitals, or hand out, “Hi, I’m Todd and I have a penis” identification cards after the first groping, so that that pervy task doesn’t have to be repeated until the student graduates.

Or do kids now have to walk around with their birth certificates so that men like Del. Mark Cole won’t be sitting on the toilet of the men’s room totally stressing out wondering if the person he hears in the next stall might be transgender.

We can explain Mr. Neckbeard’s idiocy to a degree. A look through his Twitter timeline reveals that he has retweeted from Mike Huckabee’s account and that explains so much.

‘Virginia is for lovers,’ is the state slogan. But if you aren’t straight, white and Christian, there’s hell to pay.

Is Mr. Cole volunteering for the job of School Groper? We’re just asking questions here. What prompted him to create such a bill and how many nights did he wake up in a cold sweat thinking about it over and over again.
