I live in the county of Henrico and am writing to say that I strongly oppose petition 432. This petition is not about protecting students, or sports,  or improving education — it is a transparent effort to marginalize and erase an already vulnerable community for political gain and spread hate. This petition invokes fear and is rooted in prejudice and ignorance. Trans people are humans first and are deserving and of the same fairness extended to others. I urge you to reject this petition fully
