Most negative comments here are operating off of a great amount of ignorance and fear on this issue. I should know, I am a Trans woman myself and I very much appreciate this substantial progress as it will save the lives of many Trans / Non-Binary youth who attend school in Virginia.
Gender variant individuals have existed across all cultures since the dawn of human history. It is high time they are supported and brought out of the shadows.
Diversity is strength.
