The Florida High School Athletic Association has approved a proposal to remove all questions about menstrual cycles from medical forms required to participate in high school sports in the state

[Breaking news update at 1:09 p.m.] At an emergency meeting Thursday, the Florida High School Athletic Association approved a proposal to remove all questions about menstruation cycles from medical forms required to participate in high school sports in the state. The new form will go into effect for the 2023-2024 school year and will be available starting this spring. [Previous story, published at 12:40 p.m.

The meeting comes after more than two dozen Florida lawmakers protested the proposed requirements in a letter to the FHSAA earlier this week. “The rights of all girls in sports, including their right to privacy, must be respected as afforded in the State of Florida’s Constitution,” the legislators wrote.

I cannot find any breaking news from CNN on the CNN web page nor here at CNN Breaking news on twitter about the Ohio train wreck/chemical fire tragedy? Why is this story not considered important?

Just make some shit up and attach a bloody tampon. That might put an end to this nonsense.

Why would they even be asking in the first place? (rhetorical question)

Are these questions there so they can find out who is trans Because a trans person can just answer and put any answer, are they checking, are they asking for doctors documents

Can someone get hold of a copy of these forms, so we can see exactly what they saybecause anyone can just put any answer how are they checking, do they ask for doctors documentation as well

Republicans are idiots

Florida

Seriously how do women not understand that theyre just baby makers and nothing else to republicans?

The def of the word FREEDOM seems to be very fluid in America and especially in Florida. Folk who refused to use masks and vaccines because of government tyranny seem to think it's ok to control school books, the female cycle, reproductive health and fly migrants to random spots.

Who would be nuts enough to propose this

I think I the student is experiencing her cycle, she should inform the coach and be excused for the duration.

Glad they taking this off. If they are looking to use this to see if these girls are pregnant than they need to teach sex ed in both Elementary and High school's in Florida to prevent students form having sex and allow girls to have there periods so the can participate in sports

Now parents need to read all sports related forms really good. They may put something in the fine print. The trust is gone. 🤷‍♀️

thank God. Enough of these weirdos - people either make eggs or fertilizer there's no in between there's no science there's no opinions that can change it - there is male or female. Period. that's kind of funny that the word 'period' came out ha ha ha

WTF is GovRonDeSantis thinking?

What the ACTUAL FUCK is wrong with Florida?

Finally... someone grew a pair and said no to Ron DeSanctimonious.

So boys can be girls and certified by doctors? I find it hard to applaud gender mutilation if thats were CNN is going here No wonder why no watches this leftist propaganda outlet it seems

End the craziness....

I can’t believe this was even a thing.

If a tsunami wiped Florida off the map I’d act shocked & sad but in reality, I would drink & dance while singing a sea shanty in praise of Neptune.

Could help separate the “boys” from real girls for sports.

🤦‍♂️

As they should

Good. That's just fing creepy

This is a way to continue to cater to and slide transgender players through the cracks…no child under 18 should be allowed to be labeled as transgendered. This shit is equivalent to a cult!

GOPWarOnWomen

florida and desantis should fall into the ocean...despicable homophobe...I think desantis has a closet full of frustrations

Ron DeSantis gonna see that no girl in Florida ever has her menses again , this bleeding is outrageous, and doesn’t belong in Florida

This never should have happened in the first place.

So what - they take it off the high school form but will they include a small print statement on the form indicating the parent(s) agree the school “medical personnel” can get the info from the doc/clinic. If I had a daughter I wouldn’t answer the question

Ron groomer DeSantis ,will not be pleased

Great, but unless FHSAA has a time machine, we all know that they're bigoted, misogynistic A-holes for even considering this reprehensible proposal in the first place.

Don’t tell them crap and use your own Doctors for physicals.

Fly out all the sane people then flood that shit hole state. Survivors can float to Cuba

This is so fcked up

GeoRebekah thank you! The e-mails and calls worked! Once they saw the Outrage and Consequences they changed course completely! Well Done! Now FL needs you in Congress. Keep up the Truth to Power!

Born male don’t compete In female only events.

Maybe they are looking to see who actually underwent female puberty? Trans kids who were male and experienced male puberty have no business competing in female sports. It’s patently unfair.

What about bowel movements?

Remove the SCHOOLS AND ATHLETIC PROGRAMS. Too often they are RUN BY PEDOPHILE PERVERTS. 🦊🐶💋

Parents. Virginia is one November election away from GlennYoungkin and JasonMiyaresVA tracking and potentially criminalizing your daughter's periods.

Menstrual history could be required for high school sports in FloridaA physical examination for student-athletes is recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics, but the national form states in bold letters, “This form should be placed into the athlete’s medical file and should not be shared with schools or sports organizations.” Disgusting. There are zero legitimate reasons for any school district to have someone's menstrual cycle info, has nothing to do with their ability to participate in sports. As a dad, I think this is insane! What the hell is going on in Florida? Governor of Florida won't let this happen!
