'Visual inspection' could be part of state law to determine gender identityYou got that, a “visual inspections for determining gender!” Talk about intrusive government, you can’t get much more intrusive then looking between your legs. The committee voted 6-5 to advance the bill.

PIERRE | A proposal by a state lawmaker could require that visual inspection be used as part of a process to officially determine a person's gender in South Dakota, including for high school athletes.
The battle over how to officially determine someone's gender arises from a controversy over whether transgender high school students can declare their own gender when participating in sports.

The proposal from Rep. Roger Hunt, R-Brandon, would rely on official birth certificates and visual inspections for determining gender rather than allowing people to decide and declare their gender on their own.
The bigger question would be "if passed, will it be subject to constitutionality review?" I certainly hope so...but given the state of politics today, it's anybody's guess.
