Spending Tax Dollars On Anal Probing

The town of Oriental, North Carolina has hired a woman to stick her finger up the butt of anyone who doesn't happen to carry their birth certificate in their wallet.

Anal probing. I repeat, anal probing. And not inside an alien space ship.

The city of Oriental, in North Carolina, reported Friday, April 15th, that it had re-opened its restrooms after they had been shut down for failing to comply with new HB2 restrictions on who can and cannot enter gender-specific restrooms. How do they force this regulation? Well, if you don't happen to carry your birth certificate on your person, a women sticks her finger in your anus to see if you have a prostate.

Here is the woman

Here is Kim Daniels, Oriental's newly hired Gender Compliance Officer. Apparently she has a pharmaceutical background that qualifiers her evaluating the authenticity of birth certificates and probing prostates.

And this happened

This is why I am skeptical of the article, but the Town Dock appears to be a legitimate news site for the Town of Oriental. As I am not physically in the town of Oriental, I cannot tell you whether it's actually real or not. But here is a gentleman, senior citizen no less, preparing to have his prostate palpated as he could not provide a legitimate birth certificate.

She looks proud of her job

Somebody please tell me this is fake, because if it isn't how has this not made national news. A woman stuck her finger up a guy's butt in full view of the public in order to verify his sex. I am barely willing to let my doctor do this to me, and yet people actually lined up like they were at the security check-in at an airport in order to have their gender verified, just to use the restroom. And unlike at airports, they weren't checking for anything with a legitimate importance towards maintaining public safety. I don't care if a person with or without a prostate enters the bathroom behind me as long as they're not planning on joining me in the stall.

A civil rights violation on so many levels

It's obvious this ridiculousness is meant to discriminate against transgender individuals, but it also asks the question of how we define our selves, regardless of whether we are cis or trans. Prostate cancer is unfortunately too common, and one of the most common treatments is a prostatectomy where the prostate is completely removed. A man who has had this procedure isn't any less of a man! We are not defined by our anatomy! Regardless of whether you are an intersex individual, cancer survivor, have or haven't had gender re-assignment surgery, or conform exactly to an anatomy textbook definition of a man or woman, your gender is your identity and goes beyond your physical body.

I leave you with this

According to the article, the gentleman most deserving of an anal probe has had one. He is quoted as stating "every member of my staff, including myself, has been manually authenticated to insure the veracity of the process." Why is this not national news? Why is anyone allowing Oriental to do this. Is discriminating against trans individuals so important to you that it is worth having some stranger's finger up your anus feeling around for a prostate?
