Treatment for gender reassignment
 

State regulators are going forward with sweeping proposals to ban, for minor, any practice for treatment that weeks to change an individual's sexual orientation or gender identity, including efforts to change behaviors or gender expressions or to reduce sexual or romantic attractions or feelings toward individuals or any gender.

Protect the freedom of Virginia families to acquire the counseling they choose. Imposing government into this issue will make it worse. Oppose this misguided and unconstitional proposal.

Parents have the fundamental right to make decisions regarding the upbringing, education  and care of their children. Let's not abridge this right.
