This week, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez claimed that if trans women – biological men – are banned from women’s sports that “all” girls will have their genitals examined.
The hard left Democrat made her strange remarks during a hearing with the House Oversight Subcommittee on Health on Tuesday, which featured activist swimmer Riley Gaines.

Ocasio-Cortez Makes Unsubstantiated Claims
AOC said laws banning biological men from women’s sports might force girls to have their genitals checked.
“We are talking about opening up all women and girls to genital examinations when they are underage, potentially just because someone can point to someone and say, I don’t think you are a girl,” she claimed. “And we’re saying this in an environment of a post-Dobbs America, where states are criminalizing access to abortion and want nothing more than data on women to figure out when, who’s getting a menstrual cycle, who doesn’t have one, and we’re supposed to believe this is going to make us better and safer?”
“I think not, and, per usual, I don’t believe we’re sitting here on a panel of men that has actually thought about the biology and privacy consequences of all women, trans or cisgendered,” she added.
Martina Navratilova: ‘I Wish AOC Would Educate Herself’
Tennis legend, LGBT activist and critic of trans ideology, Martina Navratilova, commented on X, “AOC claims ‘all’ underage women will face ‘genital examinations’ if biological men barred from female sports- I wish AOC would educate herself a bit more before making these ridiculous assertions- this is complete rubbish and out and out lie.”
