Dear Virginia Dept of Education,

Schools should never secretly socially transition students and keep the child's new name, pronouns and gender identities from parents. I am pleased and relieved that the Virginia Department of Education's revised model policies support parental rights and ensure that school employees don't cut parents out of critical decisions for their children.

The Virginia Department of Education (VDOE) issued "model policies" in 2021 that encouraged every school district in Virginia to hide a child's new gender identity from parents who choose to affirm the child's biological sex. Under Governor Youngkin's leadership, the VDOE's revised policies make it clear that all children should be valued and parents' rights and beliefs should be respected. The 2022 Model Policies on the Privacy, Dignity, and Respect for all Students and Parents in Virginia's Public Schools keep parents involved in major decisions in their children's lives.

The 2021 VDOE "model policies" encouraged schools to create "a plan (that) may include addressing the student at school with their name and pronoun consistent with their gender identity while using the legal name and pronoun associated with the sex assigned at birth when communicating with parents or guardians."

I strongly support the revised policies that end this practice. Virginia schools should not drive a wedge between parents and their emotionally vulnerable children. Virginia school districts, including those who have already communicated their plans to ignore the 2022 revised model policies, should put an end to secret Gender Support Plans now.

I believe the issues addressed in the proposed policy are family issues primarily and schools should have only a secondary, not primary, role.

Governor Youngkin’s 2022 Model Policies Guidance


I support Governor Youngkin on this!

<!DOCTYPE html>

FERPA legally protects parental rights to view and inspect all of their children’s school records until the child turns 18 years old.  Moreover, parents have the legal right to challenge and correct records they believe to be wrong.  As the law states:

Parents or eligible students have the right to request that a school correct records which they believe to be inaccurate or misleading. If the school decides not to amend the record, the parent or eligible student then has the right to a formal hearing. After the hearing, if the school still decides not to amend the record, the parent or eligible student has the right to place a statement with the record setting forth his or her view about the contested information.

Any tampering with FERPA is tampering with a law that was passed by Congress in 1974.  Some school officials either misunderstand, misinterpret, or simply misrepresent FERPA to students and their parents.  I witnessed that myself when my son at age 16 started taking dual credit classes via NOVA Community College and I had to correct the counselor.

Parents give birth to their children, care for them daily, and are responsible for their emotional, physical, social, and spiritual upbringing.  Parents know and love their children better than anyone else.  Of course, there are terrible instances of physical neglect and physical and verbal abuse; all of those are worthy of our intervention, which even the state currently implements with deference to the birth parent rather than to foster parents.  But most sadly, there are more instances of crimes against children, especially academic neglect and mental and social manipulation, committed on the playground, behind the school, and in the classroom every day.  The research has shown for decades that the best home scenario for a child is to have two parents who love their children.  It is nonsensical to pit children against their parents when it is truly in the best interests of the child to nurture and support his/her relationship with the parents.

When state officials or political and social activists aim to wrest responsibility for a child’s physical, emotional, and moral development from the parent, they are trespassing on well-established legal and social law.  Worse, they are using their power, whether in the classroom, the counselor’s room, or their elected office, to manipulate our most vulnerable and trusting human beings on the earth.

I agree with you on point. I support your child becoming whoever makes them happy. It becomes my business when our daughter’s have males on their soccer team taking away a roster spot or a potential scholarship. It becomes my business when my daughter enters her locker room as has to look at penis and balls. It becomes my business when your child is throwing a temper tantrum because a teacher or another student called them the wrong pronoun. I agree on point. Stay in your lane and I’ll stay in mine.


2022 Model Policies

<!DOCTYPE html>

I strongly Oppose the recommended changes. I deal with youth in my non-profit work and interact often with transgendered youth. I have learned much from them about their journeys and all the emotional pain they have had to endure. Their choice to change was not made lightly & often took many years of soul searching. But in the end this was the right choice for them. I believe this proposed policy that is cloaked in "giving more parental control" is just another way to minimize their rights & control these very vulnerable youth.


Fully support Governor Youngkin’s 2022 Model Policies!

<!DOCTYPE html>

My family, my entire church and I fully support the striking down of former Governor Northam’s policies and implementing all of Gov. Youngkin’s 2022 Model Policies. Our children need to be taught the fundamentals of education, not be confused with arbitrary rules they don’t even understand. So many are behind because of unconstitutional pandemic “mandates” imposed by the former governor. Our election of Gov. Youngkin should speak for itself, but just to make it clear, I and my circle of friends and family want to see:

all gender terms excluded from the schools except for BIOLOGICAL sex;

policies which safeguard protection of parents’ rights and students’ privacy and safety rights;

schools prohibited from keeping parents and/or legal guardians in the dark about their child(ren)’s gender-related information;

student participation in athletics MUST correspond with their biological sex!


Strongly support Governor Younkins parental rights policies

<!DOCTYPE html>

Parents, not teachers, should lead, and have the main say, and what their children do.


This does not protect, but harms

<!DOCTYPE html>

<p>Parents may feel the need to control their children, but our point in 'growing up' is t find ourselves and to become independent from our families. Children of the LGBTQ+ community are already bullied to death, but we will be pushed to the brink of life. Do not harm others when you could help. </p>


fully support parents and the new rules

<!DOCTYPE html>

Parents are the single most important person in bring up a child. It is the parent that needs to be aware and work with the child on who they are and what they are taught. not some out side organizaton that thinks they know better for your child.

Strong Support of Gov Youngkin’s Policy Change

<!DOCTYPE html>

<p>This change in the transgender policy is exactly what we need to protect all students. Enforcement of the former policy has already led to a female student being molested by a male student in the “girl’s” bathroom. We do not need any more of these types of incidents. I believe girls should go to the girls bathrooms and locker rooms while boys should go to the boys bathrooms and locker rooms. Transgenders may need their own bathroom and locker room if they do not want to go to the ones already designated by the gender of which they were born. </p>


Oppose

<!DOCTYPE html>

As someone that knows how badly the new policy could impact these kids, it does not need to be allowed. The policy we have now protects these kids because, unfortunately, the only support they can get comes from the schools. Some kids are not allowed to be who they truly are whether it is another gender, things that they like or dislike, or the career of their choice. Some of these kids do not have the support they need at home, and their parents have their own expectations that they force these kids to meet. I personally know of some kids who would be impacted by this.

Putting the new policy into place would take this away from them. This would strip what little freedom that they have to actually be who they truly are. It would allow for their parents to continue to decide for them. They have the right to their own autonomy, and this helps take that from them. If the schools actually cared about their students, then the policy would remain as is. It is discriminatory.


I'm with the governor on this one.

<!DOCTYPE html>

Forcing females to undress and use the bathroom with males is ridiculous. This policy is common sense.


I Strongly Support Gov Youngkin

<!DOCTYPE html>

I Strongly Support Gov Youngkin's policy. The Bible clearly states that God created only two genders, man and woman (male and female).  Genesis 1:26-27 KJV


Support Gov. Youngkin!

<!DOCTYPE html>

Thank you, Gov. Youngkin, for working to restore parental rights and ensuring parents are no longer excluded from the matters concerning how gender and sexuality issues are handled with their kids at school. Your changes will not promote discrimination against transgender students but will instead protect all students. No sharing of bathrooms or sports teams!


STRONGLY OPPOSE - mind your business

<!DOCTYPE html>

Learn about what it's like to be transgender before condemning kids to hate and bullying.


Support  Gov. Youngkin

<!DOCTYPE html>

I support Gov. Youngkin's proposals and am under the authority of the Bible which says in Genesis 1:27 that God created humankind; male and female he created them.


At last, some common sense.

<!DOCTYPE html>

<p>"I want my rights" are the most over-used words in the English vocabulary now. Where do all these newly found "rights" come from? There is no "right" for a child to change gender.  Parents who agree to be kept in the dark as to something as life changing as this for their child, are abdicating their parental responsibility. I have to wonder how many of those who oppose the proposal even have minor children. Do you really want your child, acting in concert (I almost said "conspiring") with a school, to go behind your back on something like this? I fully support the proposed changes.</p>


Strongly support!

<!DOCTYPE html>

I believe Governor Youngkin’s policy IS in the best interest of our children


Do Not Oppress Trans Children

<!DOCTYPE html>

Children deserve to explore their gender in school. For some students, school is a place that seems safe from abusive parents. Telling parents that their child is experimenting with pronouns and gender prevents the child from choosing their own time and place to do the telling, and may expose children to abuse at home. Let school be a safe space for all children -- let trans children be out. This also means letting them use the correct, or least incorrect, bathroom. Forcing trans children to use the bathroom assigned to their coercively assigned gender at birth exposes them to ridicule at best, and assault at worst.

Listen to trans people and physicians and base your laws on what is best for the children.


OPPOSE: Protect Trans Youth

<!DOCTYPE html>

This proposal ignores recommendations by the leading mental health and medical professional associations and will ultimately lead to harm and death of trans youths. Even recommending this policy causes extensive harm to trans youth. It is cruel and led by religious beliefs - ignoring separation of church and state. Republicans always want government to mind its business until they are trying to take away the rights of others.


Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin Reverses Protections for Transgender Students

<!DOCTYPE html>

Thank you Gov. Youngkin for reversing the protections for transgender students. I appreciate the way your policy restores protections for parental rights and ensures parents are no longer excluded from the matters concerning how gender and sexuality issues are handled with their kids at school.  Your changes will not promote discrimination against transgender students but will instead protect all students.


STRONGLY SUPPORT THE PROPOSED POLICY

<!DOCTYPE html>

I strongly support Governor Youngkin's proposed modifications to this policy.  I firmly believe that parents have the right and obligation to oversee their children's education, growth, and upbringing.  These policy changes give them necessary awareness and the ability to intercede in these matters on behalf of their children.  Additionally, these policies must be changed as it is not the role nor right of our educators to manage and direct these sensitive affairs based solely on their beliefs--that role and right rests primarily with parents.  I urge adoption of these modified policies.  Thank you.


Ultra woke parents would sacrifice their own kids to score woke points with their lib friends.

I’ve seen it at school board meetings. These parents love coming out as trans parents for attention from the other Libs.

Stop it!!!

<!DOCTYPE html>

God created two genders and He created His children just how he wanted them without mutilating them because someone thinks it's cool!!!  KEEP YOUR HANDS OFF GOD'S CHILDREN AND OUR CHILDREN!!!  Schools should be learning institutes, not places of perversion and confusion for our children!!!  Clearly government has gotten so out of hand they have forgotten that the parents are the primary teachers of their children.  Go back to reading, writing, and arithmetic!!!  Rules should not be changed to accommodate the children whose parents are practicing abuse by allowing them to change whom God made them to be!!!  People need to stop trying to be God and start looking to God for guidance!!!


Completely against this policy-dangerous to our children

<!DOCTYPE html>

Sending multiple comments because I feel so strongly in support of all our students, no matter what their circumstances or identities.


Strongly Oppose

<!DOCTYPE html>

<p>As someone who went through the VA public schools I can say this bill will deeply hurt our students. School should be a safe space for all students, including those with differing opinions and beliefs. If we feel it would greatly hurt students to enforce a religion we should feel the same about gender. When I was a student I suffered from severe bullying due to being different. This caused me to have suicidal ideation starting at the age of 10. If you do not want the rate of student suicide to go up, you should deeply consider opposing this bill. I survived but not everyone does and being trans doesn’t affect the school in anyway. But a school enforqcing gender codes and restricting parents decisions with their child does affect every student. We are a state for lovers not a state wanting to increase suicide rates among minors. </p>


Dear Virginia Dept of Education,

Schools should never secretly socially transition students and keep the child's new name, pronouns and gender identities from parents. I am pleased and relieved that the Virginia Department of Education's revised model policies support parental rights and ensure that school employees don't cut parents out of critical decisions for their children.

The Virginia Department of Education (VDOE) issued "model policies" in 2021 that encouraged every school district in Virginia to hide a child's new gender identity from parents who choose to affirm the child's biological sex. Under Governor Youngkin's leadership, the VDOE's revised policies make it clear that all children should be valued and parents' rights and beliefs should be respected. The 2022 Model Policies on the Privacy, Dignity, and Respect for all Students and Parents in Virginia's Public Schools keep parents involved in major decisions in their children's lives.

The 2021 VDOE "model policies" encouraged schools to create "a plan (that) may include addressing the student at school with their name and pronoun consistent with their gender identity while using the legal name and pronoun associated with the sex assigned at birth when communicating with parents or guardians."

I strongly support the revised policies that end this practice. Virginia schools should not drive a wedge between parents and their emotionally vulnerable children. Virginia school districts, including those who have already communicated their plans to ignore the 2022 revised model policies, should put an end to secret Gender Support Plans now.

Strongly oppose

<!DOCTYPE html>

I am a parent of two children in Virginia public schools, and I very strongly oppose this policy. I don't believe it is truly about parents rights as much as it is about enforcing the beliefs of one group of parents over the well-being of vulnerable populations. I also think it undercuts the rights of our local school boards--publicly elected officials who, at least in our district, know our students, know our community, and make all of their decisions in public, open for comment. We have a process; why is it the state's policy to intervene here?

Using a child's preferred name/pronouns, even if the parents are not yet aware of these preferences, is respectful and kind. Nicknames have been unquestioningly accommodated (within reason) since I was a kid. Why should pronouns be any different? Having the space at school to try on new hats allows kids to explore who they are and what they believe in a safe environment, and it builds up their courage to speak their truth to their families when they are ready. As a parent, if my kids don't feel comfortable speaking with me, but do find someone at school that they can confide in, I'm not angry, I'm grateful.

For those kids who are not transgender, the only way it affects them is that they get to learn how to interact with peers who are different, a skill that is important in the real world.

Finally, I believe it is unrealistic to "enforce sex-based dress codes"; what does that even mean? Who decides what corresponds to which sex? Why are we distracting our already overworked and underpaid educators and adminstrators with this kind of stupid policing, when there are so much more important issues at hand?


Schools are there to educate not WOKE SEX NEUTERING

<!DOCTYPE html>

Schools in VA. Need to be there for teaching Reading, Writing, Arithmetic. With this WOKE, SEXUAL NEUTERING, I don't think that a school board or any other person, teacher, Guidance counselor has any right to teach my child to lie to me, to change my child's name, or even have my child exposed to "trans-sexual deviants". That "I identify as a woman male in Loudon county ought to wake you up, not have WOKEn you up. That guy used this "I identify as" to sexually assault that young girl, who will never be the same. I don't give a damn about anyone else, that little girl was attacked by a boy dressed as a woman, gave him easy access, by lifting his own dress. And if you want to teach anything, MAKE SURE TO TELL THESE KIDS UP FRONT, " DOING THIS MEANS YOU WILL NEVER BE A MOM OR A DAD, IN THE FUTURE. FREEDOM HAS A PRICE, NO CHILDREN, NOT NOW, NOT LATER, NOT EVER.


I am trans girl- If I can’t dominate girls sports how will I get a state record

wasn’t good at sports- my guidance counselor said maybe I was a girl- BOOM

<!DOCTYPE html>

Yes makes that much sense


Should be one bathroom- I pee as a man and poop as a woman- don’t want to go to another bathroom

Quit discrimination against pangenders- we are real see us


Governor Youngkin clarifying parents rights in schools

<!DOCTYPE html>

I strongly support Governor Youngkin.

Recently a friend of mine retired as a teacher.  She related a story, that sounded like a horror movie, of elementary children in Chesterfield county, allowed to change their sexual identity and their given name, and the teacher being forced to acknowledge this on record, but not allowed to share with the child's parents if requested by the child.

On the news, Riley Gaines, an accomplished female swimmer at the University of Pennsylvania, ties Lia Thomas, a biological male with an unsuccessful record as a male swimmer, now swimming as a female, for fifth place--the fifth place trophy is handed to the biological male.  Meanwhile, the biological females on the swim team are forced to use a changing room with this biological male.  I was uncomfortable changing clothes with other girls in the junior high school gymnasium locker room.  This appears to be a cruelty for young women.

On the news, a plumber in Loudon county gets justifiably furious because his 15 year old daughter was raped and sodomized in a bathroom at school by a biological male in a skirt.  The media tries to crucify the angry father.

I have raised three men to adulthood.  I am an RN.  I've only seen penises and vaginas.  I sympathize with those who are conflicted in their sexual feelings.  It does not give them the right to take away the rights and safeties of those around them.  Parents are responsible for the safety and welfare of their children in and out of the classroom.  I am strongly suspicious of adults wanting to interfere in this important relationship, especially regarding feelings.  Children and young adults often have feelings that change.  Adults enforcing feelings, against parental wishes, are suspect.

Darn it- at this rate boys will be discouraged from having babies- female penises need bathrooms too

U people are sick- let kids change #boyvaginagirlpenisisnatural


Female penises have rights too- male Catina’s will kill theyself if you do this


Strongly support this legislation to protect women’s rights

<!DOCTYPE html>

The women’s rights movement has made great strides in this country. We are at risk of losing our rights in the name of “trans rights”. Trans people have not lost any rights. They are afforded the same exact rights as anyone else in our society. Biological males do not belong on our sports teams. Biological females deserve spaces within the school to use the bathroom and showers without males present.


School policy on parental rights

<!DOCTYPE html>

Students should use the bathrooms that correspond to their sex. Single-user bathrooms and facilities should be made available in accessible areas and provided with appropriate signage, indicating accessibility for all students.

Parents are best able to help their children with gender dysphoria.

I strongly support Youngkin's proposed policy.


Let's not make it complicated to support Trans students

<!DOCTYPE html>

Having read through your proposal, it is clear that the language is couched in a way to make it seem very pro-family and about the parents. Unfortunately, not all parents are supportive of their children's identity choices. These are the most vulnerable. The focus of the schools and their teachers should be to support the students, providing a safe and inclusive environment. If a student can state a preference, their teachers and school faculty and staff should make every effort to acknowledge that preference and support the choice.


Get suicidal kids mental health care- not access to little girl’s locker rooms and bathrooms.

<!DOCTYPE html>

Suicidal kids need mental health care. No pronoun is going to Fox their problems. Stop lying to them.


This bill will kill trans children. You should be ashamed of yourselves.

This is an absolute disgrace of a bill. This will do nothing but harm to children, will cause innocent children to be abused by parents and teachers alike. If you care so much about human life, then why do you want it to be a misery; why do you want people to die?Shame on this country, and shame on you all. You disgust me.

Model Policies for the Treatment of Transgender Students in Virginia’s Public Schools

<!DOCTYPE html>

This proposed change is disingenuous at best. The arguments for changing the policy are misleading and ignore the content and intent of the constitutional protections that it purports to protect. Demonizing children for living as the individual that they are is antithetical to everything this commonwealth and nation was supposed to protect and support. Transgender youth are people and as such should be given every protection to be who they are. Their existence does not in any way infringe on the rights of anyone else. The imposition of the proposed changes will only infringe on the rights of this minority group and smacks of the establishment of rules based on religion, which, by the way, is expressly prohibited by the US constitution.


THEY ARE CHILDREN, Support them don’t cause more trauma

<!DOCTYPE html>

THEY ARE CHILDREN

get your hate out of our schools


Strongly Oppose 2022 Model Policy

<!DOCTYPE html>

<p>I strongly oppose the proposed policy regarding transgender students in the commonwealth's public schools. The proposed policy is discriminatory and inconsistent with the current cultural values and mores of the American culture. It is a step back in time reinforcing antiquated and discriminatory practices toward people claiming or exploring alternative sexual identities. The proposed policy demonstrates no understanding of the developmental needs and issues associated with adolescents. Adolescent separation/ individuation process has been strongly documented in psychological research; yet the proposed policy ignores a child's need for privacy regarding gender identity and how this I can be intertwined with this developmental process. The policy also suggests an unrealistic and naive understanding of family dynamics by indirectly suggesting that all parents are accepting and empathic to their child's need to deviate from their own views.  Requiring parental approval may create intense internal conflict for a child and ultimately lead to self-harming behaviors. Currently, suicide rates in children are sky-rocketing. The proposed policy endangers the mental health of children, adding unfair, unnecessary pressure to them, and especially to  those who have yet to develop safe coping skills for such conflict. This proposed policy would be a terrible mistake for children in the commonwealth.  </p>


Strongly Oppose

<!DOCTYPE html>

<p>This policy is cruel at best. A young LGBTQ+ person attempts suicide every 45 seconds in this country.  Only a third have a supportive environment at home.   Research consistently shows that the way to reverse this trend is to provide affirming and supporting environments.  This bill does the opposite. </p>


Transgender students are not a threat

<!DOCTYPE html>

Trans students are at a high risk of bullying and mental health issues, and forcing them into boxes they do not belong in will only exacerbate this. This policy teaches intolerance toward transgender students, and shows willful ignorance to best practices as recommended by leading doctors and mental health care professionals. This policy going into effect will be devastating to many families and students, and will put teachers and other school staff in a position that risks the health and wellbeing of their students. I am against this policy, as are countless Virginians, and it should not be enacted.


No more sexual assaults in little girls bathrooms. Shame on LCPS school board.

The school board and superintendent should be held personally financially and legally responsible.

Teachers are not mental health specialist and have one training or background in psychology. To assume that they can make better decisions than a child's own parent is extremely inaccurate. We have seen time and again teachers that cross the line with students and are sometimes the predators harming them. Allowing teachers to play more of a supportive role than their own parent will assure more abuse by those predatory teachers because they will find weakness within the child to prey upon and form a weaker bong between the child and the parents. Consider the liability that would be brought upon the school district if a teacher uses that wedge created between the child and parent to their advantage to prey on them. Teachers have one job and that is to focus on teaching a child their lesson plans. Teachers need to get back to knowing their role and worry about mastering the job they were hired to do. Some struggle with that alone and they do not need to have the added task of also being a psychologist for a child.

Dear Virginia Dept of Education,

Schools should never secretly socially transition students and keep the child's new name, pronouns and gender identities from parents.

<p>Trans children have a 50% chance of attempting suicide in their lifetime because of the constant hardships they run into day after day. Policies that are discriminatory will make this statistic rise and worsen the biases and difficulties these children face in their every day life. Spend time instead making policies that are more inclusive. I strongly oppose this policy. </p>


This will not "protect vulnerable children," this will ENDANGER vulnerable children.

<!DOCTYPE html>

As a former transgender child, who has since grown into a transgender adult, I cannot put to word how much I oppose guidelines, rules, recommendations, etc. like this. This will do incalculable harm. It is outright shameful how much has regressed since I came out eleven years ago, despite the fact that we now know so much more about the mental health and overall well-being of transgender children—every study with the least bit credibility put forth has disproven any harm purportedly caused by minors' gender transitions.

Rules and legislation like this will not protect anyone except for abusive parents and guardians. Children will die. I have friends whose parents would have killed them outright for being transgender—or else forced them through unethical, medically unsound "treatments" known to cause severe trauma. Forcibly outing transgender youth will have an irreparable effect on an already vulnerable population. Moreover, this ONLY protects the "parental rights" of abusive parents—and it disrespects and harms those parents who fulfill their parental duties to unconditionally cherish and respect their children. Outing transgender students by forcing them to use bathrooms that ignore their identity is explicitly putting them in danger of their peers' abuse.

How many transgender children must die before others see them as human and as deserving the same respect as everyone else? At what point will those responsible for this and similar measures realize the amount of blood on their hands? How much blood is too much blood, how many human lives are too many lost, how deeply depraved will people become by trying to force their standards of subjective experiences on others before it is too much?

If you have read this far and disagree with me, I ask you one thing and one thing only: even if it is contrary to your beliefs, what harm does it do you to respect someone who asks to be referred to in a specific way? You do not have to change your viewpoint to afford someone the same decency and basic human respect you experience on a regular basis. Children are whole people who should have the same freedoms of expression as adults.


Strongly oppose

<!DOCTYPE html>

<p>Protect trans kids, and trans people in general. This is anti-trans legislation. Research shows that the way to protect trans youth ids to support them in their trans identities. Please do not pass legislation to make life harder for trans youth, who already have a heightened risk of suicide. This legislation could kill kids, literally. </p>


Common Sense

<!DOCTYPE html>

I support Gov. Youngkin's proposed policy. Why are we making over 99% of the population uncomfortable so that less than 1% of the population with a mental defect feel comfortable? Use the restroom of your birth sex, and get the mental health that these people need.


This is stupid

<!DOCTYPE html>

1 : You're not helping your population

2 : Don't you have better things to do?


This Policy is Detrimental for Virginia

<!DOCTYPE html>

This is not something I want to see my elected officials spend their time and energy on. Students of all ages who are different are already bullied. This proposal would make transgender people stand out even more and is placing them at an unfair risk. I'm not willing to hurt people in order to hold up a pretense that the gender they were assigned at birth is somehow more important than their preference of gender presentation in the real world. I hope you're not either.

To ask teachers and school administrators to invest their attention in this is not productive. This proposal is a waste everyone's time and tries to ignore a student's human rights. It also brings down the reputation of this state and if passed, will harm our state economy and property values. What do we have to do to get our elected officials to represent the mainstream in all its diverse beauty rather than fringe fundamentalists who are afraid to accept human beings as they truly are?


STRONGLY OPPOSE: Protect Trans Kids

<!DOCTYPE html>

Is this really the best use of your time and resources? Attacking a minority group that already has a high risk of suicide and self-harm? You could be focusing on eliminating homelessness, or lowering the costs of healthcare, y'know, things that would actually be helpful, but this is what you choose to do instead? It is absolutely disgusting that instead of trying to help protect these kids, you instead directly single them out and try to make life even worse for them--as if it wasn't hard enough already. Trans kids are not dangerous, they're not going to poison your precious cishet children by just existing, nor are they going to harass your children in the bathrooms (I promise you they just want to pee in peace). They're actually more likely to be the VICTIMS of violent attacks and harassment, not the perpetrators. These kids just want to go to school and get an education, just like anyone else. But then you decide to try and make it an even more hostile environment for them. Any trans/nonbinary/gender-nonconforming kids who get hurt or decide to commit suicide if this gets passed will be blood on your hands. Do you not realize that telling a parent about a child's LGBTQ+ identity means running the risk of that child getting discriminated against, disowned, kicked out, hurt or even killed by their own parent? Just because they identify as something different? All of y'all straight cisgender folks will never understand the fear that is inherent to being LGBTQ+. As an LGBTQ+ adult I feel awful for the LGBTQ+ kids who have to deal with a school system that would rather kick them while they're down instead of being the one place that protects them when no one else will. Anyone who is in support of this abhorrent 'policy' should be ashamed of themselves. Take a moment to reflect on why you're so scared of trans kids and stop using the Bible and your homophobic/transphobic prejudices as the basis for your arguments. Learn to be a better person and stop seeing LGBTQ+ people as predators when we just want to be respected/safe. There's no excuse for being this ignorant when Google is free. Get help.

To any trans/nonbinary/LGBTQ+ kids who might be reading this, stay strong. I promise you there are people out there who love you for who you are. If you can't get that at home or at school, you will find it someplace else. Do whatever it takes to stay alive in an environment that actively wants you dead. I know things might seem tough now, but I promise we'll all keep fighting for a better future for you.


Leave these poor kids alone.

<!DOCTYPE html>

You’re gonna have a lot of dead kids on your hands if you put this dumpster fire through. Leave the kids alone. They’re going through enough already without you adding to it. It’s none of your business what gender a kid is. It’s none of anyone’s business if a kid is trans. Let them live their lives.


Return Virginia Education to sanity!

<!DOCTYPE html>

Please please please follow through on these proposed changes.  Parents have been systematically pushed out of the Virginia Education system.  These issues are a parents rights, these choices are parents choices - schools should NEVER actively hide things from parents EVER.  Stop the systemic anit-parentism.


OPPOSE: This is a religious anti LGBT Agenda, which has NO PLACE in EDUCATION

<!DOCTYPE html>

The people behind this guidance care nothing for the children, and indeed are willing to actively HARM children just to soothe their own petty cruelty and egomania. This is an absolute waste of time and little more than the hatred of out of touch fanatics who need to GROW UP.

Protect Trans Kids!

<!DOCTYPE html>

The proposals suggested are cruel and evil, Trans people of all ages and backgrounds deserve respect and protection.

Administration should use the child's chosen pronouns.

Administration has no right to reveal a students private information that may put them in danger.

Administration should permit to let students use the bathroom that corresponds with their gender identity, rather than obsessing over children's genitals.

Protect Trans kids, not bigot.
