Trans people can be respected. Biological females also request respect and common sense.
 

I am the grandparent of two granddaughters who play sports. I want them to grow up in a state that values their safety and dignity. Women and girls should never be put in a position where they are forced to share private facilities with biological males, lose out on athletic achievements because of an unfair playing field, or worse, have their bodily privacy and safety jeopardized. These proposed regulations would be a common-sense safeguard for our children.  The logic is clear because women who identify as men do not try to play sports on male teams. Why not? They realize there is a huge difference between the biological sexes. Please stand firm and protect the rights, privacy, and athletic opportunities of young women across Virginia.
