I support the policy updates to 12 VAC 5-550. The policy updates should include more than the ability to change your gender identity to either male or female without surgery. It should also include the ability to identify yourself as gender neutral / non-binary. I am transgender / gender neutral. I work at the POFF Federal Building in Roanoke, VA. I recently came out as transgender / gender neutral and have requested the director’s office to provide unisex restroom(s) at the POFF building. So this goes way beyond male and female. Let our state be a a progressive state when it comes to transgender rights. We are all human and deserve to identify as we wish … male, female, or other.
