Support Transgender Rights
 

As a Virginian, a constituent, & a constantly learning ally, I support updates to 12 VAC 5-550! It is so important that all resident are treated with respect, dignity & equality and this bill seems to be a step in the right direction. These important updates will remove outdated language and clarify the gender change process for Virginia birth certificates. Every person in Virginia should have access to identity documents that accurately reflect who they are so they can live and work in the Commonwealth without experiencing discrimination and harassment. Thank you.
