Ask VHSL to End the Trans Sports Ban
The Right 2 Play VA campaign, a statewide effort to rescind the Virginia High School League’s (VHSL) discriminatory ban on transgender girls’ participation in girls’ sports, needs your help! All kids deserve to play youth sports. Support the campaign by signing onto a community letter to VHSL asking them to end the ban. Have a relationship with a Virginia public high school? Send an email to your principal and athletic director asking them to urge VHSL to reverse this harmful policy. To learn more about the issue and why it’s important, check out these FAQs developed by our amazing partners at Equality Arlington and Arlington Gender Identity Alliance. Please send to your networks, particularly supportive families with cisgender athletes!

ABOUT TGEA
The Transgender Education Association of Greater Washington, D.C. (TGEA) was established to bring together the varied segments of the local gender community into a nurturing and supportive network. Now, as we approach nearly 50 years of outreach, our goals are just as important: to provide a supportive environment and day-to-day assistance for transgender and non-binary individuals and their significant others, friends, family and allies (SOFFAs), to help them overcome their sense of isolation, and to provide educational and social opportunities.

This quick survey will help us understand what kinds of activities you’d enjoy, when you’re available, and whether you’d like to help organize.
