As a mother and grandmother, I urge the Virginia Board of Health to approve this petition for rulemaking to limit female sports and spaces to biological women only. This is not about discrimination; it’s about fairness, safety, and truth. Ignoring biological reality in favor of ideology harms women and girls the most. Female sports were created for a reason—because biological differences matter. The state has a duty to protect its citizens, especially the most vulnerable, from policies that erase meaningful distinctions between male and female. These proposed regulations would be a common-sense safeguard for our children. Please approve this request for rulemaking and help Virginia lead the way in protecting women’s sports and spaces.
