Please Protect the Safety, Rights, Privacy, & Athletic Opportunities for Young Women
 

As a parent of a daughter who played sports, I urge the Virginia Board of Health to approve this petition - to limit female sports and spaces to biological women only. This is not about discrimination; it's about Safety and Fairness! Women and girls should never be put in a position where they are forced to share private facilities with biological males, lose out on athletic achievements because of an unfair playing field, or worse, have their bodily privacy and safety jeopardized. Please stand firm and protect the rights, privacy, and athletic opportunities of young women across Virginia.
