People whose kids lose in a sport are now demanding that the victors have their genitals inspected. You pass a law against trans athletes, that's what you get.
Pharyngula writes more here.
Hey, those kids should have looked more feminine, or been worse at sports, if they didn't want a mandatory genital inspection.
The big point in all the articles, though, is that this is a problem because now it's affecting cis kids.
Trans kids? Hey, fuck them kids. They shouldn't be trans if they didn't want to be oppressed, am I right?

In 2019, World Athletics created a rule that created testosterone limits for women running in the 400m, 800m, and 1500m races. Any women with higher levels would have to compete in the men's category in those distances - but they can still compete in the women's 200m and women's 5000m races.
All three medal winners in the women's 800m in the 2016 Rio Olympics were banned under the new rule. All three are from Africa, and it seems that all women since banned under the new rule are Black.
For the people passing these laws, the racism is a feature, not a bug.
I suspect the kids in the story Pharyngula links to are black as well, but the story doesn't say. That's usually how it works, though -- the law aimed at any group is weaponized against black people and poor people as well.
