Voters in Washington state could approve an anti-transgender law, Initiative Measure No. IL26-638, which would require girl student-athletes statewide to confirm their "biological sex" with genital inspections just to play sports. Opponents of the initiative say it's invasive, could block poorer students from getting verified, and could meet pushback from medical professionals who refuse to comply.
The initiative would require students who want to participate in girls' sports to provide "a health examination and consent form or other statement signed by the student's personal health care provider that verifies the student's biological sex, relying only on one or more of the following: The student's reproductive anatomy, genetic makeup, or normal endogenously produced testosterone levels."

Why did Trump deify Fauci?
#240 | Posted by visitor_
President Trump gave Dr. Anthony Fauci a Presidential Commendation on January 19, 2021, the last full day of Trump's first term.
The commendation was awarded to Fauci along with dozens of other members of the Operation Warp Speed team, including military leaders, scientists, public health officials, and vaccine developers. The White House said they were being recognized for their "exceptional efforts on Operation Warp Speed" and their work to protect the health and well-being of the American people during the COVID-19 pandemic.

"Once again, as with so many other things Trump has done, it's inconceivable to imagine any other modern American president even thinking this up, let alone doing it."
This is what appeals to them about Trump.
