You have demonstrated another method of sidestepping the fairness argument, which is to pretend it doesn't exist and claim that no-one should care anyway.

So given the small numbers of these males, it should be an easy win for the Democrats to say: of course we don't agree with male athletes in female sports, as it is obviously unfair to female athletes, and we will support bipartisan measures to make it unlawful for organizations to do this.

Polling shows that most people across the political spectrum would consider this a reasonable approach.

And then, the Republicans lose most of their attack lines on this topic, and the Democrats don't have to worry as much about having to defend foolish beliefs.

Yes. Read the text of bill linked from that article. There is nothing in there that mandates "genital inspection" for the purpose of sex verification in sports. It merely provides an option of reusing existing health data that has already been collected.

But of course data reuse isn't a sufficiently controversial framing, so a "genital inspection" angle is pushed instead by the author of the article.

No-one is asking for "genital inspections". This is a claim invented for the purpose of sidestepping the fairness argument.
