I live in Fairfax county, and I strongly oppose Petition 432.
This petition is not about locker rooms. The Board of Health has no business labeling groups of people harmful based on who they are.
There are real public health issues facing women and girls in Virginia, like domestic violence, maternal health, and poverty. Don’t let this hateful petition distract from your important mission to protect the health and promote the well-being of ALL people in Virginia.
Across our races, backgrounds, and genders, we all deserve to be treated fairly. There is a nationwide effort by some politicians and interest groups to force transgender people and LGBTQ+ people out of public life. These political attacks harm us all, whether we’re gay or straight, transgender or not, because they foster discrimination and distract us from the real problems we face.
Trans women are HUMAN BEINGS who have every right that CIS women have to exist in this world, and to pursue their dreams, and live a happy and successful life! The people pushing these anti trans agendas are shameful, hateful bigots. Trans women simply want to exist and to be accepted. Why don't we go ahead and take care of the REAL issues that face women and girls..CIS MEN, who molest, attack and rape women and children, and have done so since the beginning of time. CIS MEN in power.. CIS MEN of the cloth...CIS MEN in the government..CIS MEN in the school system....CIS MEN are the problem! They are the ones who commit these crimes against women and children. Leave Trans Women alone!!!!!! The obsession over this is unreal, and was completely fabricated by hate and lies from the Republican party, which is only catering to the conservative Christian movement in order to fork their disgusting agenda. Protect 2025 must be stopped! And this is all part of that. Trans women are women. Trans men are men.
PETITION 432 IS HATE FILLED AND MUST BE REJECTED.
