Oppose Petition 432
 

"I strongly oppose this petition. It is a baseless, politically motivated attempt to use trans people, especially trans women and girls, as pawns in a culture war. It has no foundation in science or public health, and falls outside the legal authority of the Board.

This isn’t just an attack on trans people. It’s an attack on all of us, on bodily autonomy, inclusion, and the right to exist safely and equally in public spaces.

These attacks hurt trans people, and they also create harmful scrutiny on all women and girls. This is not about fairness, it's about control. Please deny this petition".
