The rapper made headlines earlier this month when he said he took his daughter to the gynecologist to "check her hymen" is still intact.
New York state lawmakers have introduced two bills that would prevent doctors from performing virginity exams. The move comes after rapper T.I. received considerable backlash following an interview in which he said he accompanies his daughter to the gynecologist to"check her hymen" is still intact, and a subsequent interview during which he attempted to clarify those remarks.
The bill would not outlaw all medical hymen examinations but specifically,"the performance of hymen examinations on women as a means to ascertain whether a woman is a virgin." "The term 'virginity' is not a medical or scientific term," the justification also noted."Rather, the concept of 'virginity' is a social, cultural and religious construct - one that reflects gender discrimination against women and girls. As a result, the United Nations, along with the World Health Organization, U.N. Women and U.N. Human Rights, called for a global ban on the practice.
"Virginity testing" made headlines in early November when rapper T.I. said during an appearance on the podcast"Ladies Like Us" when he discussed how he handled talking about sex with his oldest daughter and told the hosts,"We have yearly trips to the gynecologist to check her hymen."Story continuesSolages, who represents Long Island's Nassau County, told the New York Post she was"horrified" to see his comments.
