Virginia pursues restrictions on transgender students in sports, locker rooms
Virginia will draft rules barring biological males from female sports and locker rooms after petitions from female athletes; the process may take 18 to 24 months, officials said.
- Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin issued Executive Directive 14, directing the Board of Health to ban biological males from participating in female sports and using designated female spaces, citing health and safety concerns for women and girls in Virginia.
- The directive was influenced by complaints about incidents involving males in girls' locker rooms, including a recent complaint about a male watching girls change in Fairfax County.
- Youngkin noted that three female athletes petitioned for the regulations, claiming they were harmed by males competing in women's sports, which is now under consideration by the Board of Health.
- Equality Virginia's Executive Director criticized the directive, calling it a 'partisan distraction' from pressing public health issues that the administration is responsible for.
