Former competitive swimmer Peggy Haslach writes about the harms of I-638, which will require tens of thousands of elementary, middle and high school girls to undergo intrusive, potentially harmful medical sex inspections every year as a new part of sports physicals Vote NO on I-638. #NoHateWAState

The headline reads: My Body Was a Battleground Before I Understood What the Fight Was About. The excerpt from the article reads: “That is exactly why Washington’s Initiative 638 should worry every woman reading this, not just trans women... When I look at who a bill like this actually catches- tall girls, muscular girls, girls who don’t fit a narrow and often racially coded picture of what feminine is supposed to look like- it’s hard for me not to conclude that the girls this bill is built to protect are a much narrower, whiter, more conventionally feminine group than the ‘girls’ it claims to be defending as a whole.” White text on a dark red footer says “Vote No on I-638.”

I-001 will force schools to hand over sensitive information about child abuse victims to their parental abusers. It also forces school counselors and teachers to knowingly put LGBTQ+ students at risk of harm or homelessness. Vote NO on I-001 when your ballot arrives.

A screenshot of an article from Everett Community is on a dark purple background. The header image is five high school students walking on a school track. The headline says: November’s Parental Rights Initiative Is a Danger to Kids. The subhead says: Let's Go Washington says IL26-001 will stop schools from keeping secrets from parents. But it opens the door for abusive parents to access anything a student shared with a trusted adult, and directly impacts queer youth. The excerpt from the article reads: Queer kids pay the price. “[IL26-001] forces our schools to out LGBTQIA+ kids to the very families that might throw them out.” -Rep Pramila Jayapal. A pale purple footer says: Vote No on I-001.
