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. The state has a duty to protect its citizens, especially the most vulnerable, from policies that erase meaningful distinctions between male and female. Please approve this request for rulemaking and help Virginia lead the way in protecting women’s sports and spaces.

At least 3 major religions do not believe in allowing males into women's spaces.  Forcing members of those religions to either avoid spaces previously meant for biological women only (ie restrooms)  and playing in girl sports is deeply unfair, and to me, seems to violate the first amendment right of freedom of religion.
