I very STRONGLY oppose ALL aspects of this Statewide Transgender School Policy as proposed by the VDOE. These proposed changes are extremely short-sighted and very harmful for children, and the authors of this bill have not thought through the implications. In particular, the proposition of boys or young men being in the presence of undressed women will cause rape and other sexual violations. How are faculty and students able to remember "preferred pronouns for many different student, which may change from day to day? These policies also violate the U.S. Constitution, in that there are no exceptions for students, parents or teachers whose religious faith prevents them from conforming to transgender ideology and policies.
Thank you for considering these comments,
William J. Long Jr.
