Women’s sports
 

I am a former coach, father of 5 children and a grandfather of 12. I am personally embarrassed to need to say what is obvious… men and women are different. They should be different. We should not make laws making these differences irrelevant. 
  Virgina should keep biological men out  of women’s sports.  I’am not saying that those who are  unsure of their sex should not expect understanding. But  that understanding does not extend to this  unbelievable level of injustice. There are limits to tolerance and this is one of them.

I urge the Virginia Board of Health to approve this petition for rulemaking to limit female sports and spaces to biological women only. This is not about discrimination; it’s about fairness, safety, and truth. Ignoring biological reality in favor of ideology harms women and girls the most. The state has a duty to protect its citizens, especially the most vulnerable, from policies that erase meaningful distinctions between male and female. Please approve this request for rulemaking and help Virginia lead the way in protecting women’s sports and spaces.
