I am from Virginia Beach, VA, and Petition 432 is an absolutely horrible idea. We cannot advocate calling someone "harmful" based on who they are and how they are created.

I am a public school teacher, and I work with trans kids on a daily basis.  They are already dealing with enough angst in their lives; they don't need more stress and tribulation from the government targeting them as dangerous or harmful.  They are simply trying to exist as they were created.  They only want acceptance--not to change or harass others into being like them.  

Please don't attempt to erase a small group of disadvantages people because of irrational fear of the unknown.  We can all get along and love one another, no matter who we are.

Thanks so much for your time and consideration.
