After reading all the comments it is clear that there is a general misunderstanding of the purpose of this petition. Comments against the petition say that no female has ever been hurt by a trans woman. Unless you live under a rock or your news will not report these stories, you would know there are many instances. Physical harm and injuries to females by biological males has been serious enough that female teams have had to withdraw from competition against teams with trans players to avoid further injuries. They should not have to forfeit for safety and injury reasons.How is this fair? 

When female athletes lodge a complaint they are bullied into silence or threatened of  being  removed from team . They are being accused of being hateful and discriminating. How is this even happening to them. A female objecting to  participating in a physical sport where she can get injured much worse against a male  gets vilified. 

Whats so terrible about this is that the discrimination going on is against the female athletes not the biological men who want to be on a female team.

Those opposed to this petition seem to have a political agenda trying to make anyone who supports this petition out to be heartless, hateful, and much worse.

I urge the Board to please for all  the female athletes  of the Commonwealth of Virginia approve the petition for rule making  prohibiting males from female sports and their private spaces. Their future health and welfare  in athletics is on the line. Please approve!
