House wants federal government to protect transgender rights.

The House of Representatives believes the federal government should create a "Transgender Bill of Rights." This resolution aims to protect transgender and nonbinary people. It would ensure their access to medical care, housing, safety, and jobs. This is the House's official view on how the government should support these individuals.

What Would Change

Today, transgender and nonbinary people face discrimination in many areas, and while some court rulings offer protections, federal laws do not always explicitly ban discrimination based on gender identity or sex characteristics. This resolution would formally state the House of Representatives' belief that the federal government has a duty to create a "Transgender Bill of Rights." If future laws were passed based on this resolution, it would lead to explicit federal protections against discrimination, improved access to healthcare, and easier legal recognition of gender identity.

Key Provisions

Calls for amending federal laws to ban discrimination based on gender identity and sex characteristics in public places, schools, jobs, and housing.
Urges the protection of access to gender-affirming medical care and reproductive healthcare for all people.
Calls for banning conversion practices and nonconsensual surgeries on intersex children.
Urges easier ways to update names and genders on federal identification, including offering an "X" gender marker.
Calls for TRICARE and the Department of Veterans Affairs to cover gender-affirming health care.
Urges improved safety and access to appropriate care for transgender and nonbinary people in government custody.
