This resolution asserts that the Federal Government has a duty to develop and implement a "Transgender Bill of Rights" to protect and codify the rights of transgender and nonbinary people. Its core purpose is to ensure their equal access to medical care, shelter, safety, and economic security by addressing widespread discrimination. The proposed Bill of Rights would amend federal laws, including the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Fair Housing Act, and the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, to explicitly prohibit discrimination based on gender identity and sex characteristics in public accommodations, federally funded programs, employment, housing, and lending. It also aims to protect students from discrimination in education, including athletics and facility access, clarifying that religious grounds do not permit such discrimination. Key provisions focus on affirming bodily autonomy and healthcare , by enforcing non-discrimination, eliminating governmental restrictions on gender-affirming care, and protecting providers from penalties. It seeks to ban nonconsensual intersex surgeries and conversion practices, while expanding access to competent healthcare providers and reopening the Sexual & Gender Minority Research Office. Additionally, the resolution advocates for accessible legal recognition of transgender and nonbinary identities by easing barriers to updating names and gender on federal identification documents and requiring an 'X' marker option. It also addresses anti-trans bias in the immigration system and military service, requiring TRICARE and the Department of Veterans Affairs to cover gender-affirming care, and aims to strengthen safety through investments in community services, mental health support, and ensuring appropriate housing and access to gender-affirming care for individuals in government custody, supported by dedicated enforcement within the Department of Justice.
