The Department of Health serves to protect the health and promote the well-being of all people in Virginia. If anyone is wondering - this includes biological women. You can't place one group of people in jeopardy because a different group decides they want to reject the truth. Biological men in womens sports poses a real threat to women. Just look at our neighboring state of NC: 

In September of 2022, “India” Clark, a “trans”-identified male playing women’s volleyball at Highlands High School in North Carolina, caused outrage when he injured an opposing female player, Payton McNabb, with a spike to the head. McNabb was hit with so much force that she suffered severe head and neck injuries and lingering aftereffects such as impaired vision, partial paralysis on the right side of her body, headaches, anxiety, and depression up to six months later.

McNabb has since spoken out about the injury and the accommodations she now needs in school due to retention problems to protect other female athletes from suffering similar injuries.

Because of the greater jumping ability and power that male athletes possess, men’s volleyball nets are 7 inches higher than the women’s. Men playing in co-ed leagues with female athletes on a women’s net are often prohibited from spiking or playing the front row. These safety precautions are completely ignored when a male player says that he’s a girl. (hecheated.org)
