RESOLUTION
Recognizing that it is the duty of the Federal Government
to develop and implement a Transgender Bill of Rights
to protect and codify the rights of transgender and non-
binary people under the law and ensure their access
to medical care, shelter, safety, and economic security.
Whereas an estimated 1,600,000 transgender adults live in
the United States;
Whereas title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (42 U.S.C.
2000e et seq.) requires equal treatment under the law re-
gardless of sex;
Whereas the Supreme Court of the United States affirmed in
Bostock v. Clayton County, 140 S. Ct. 1731 (2020) that
Federal protection against discrimination on the basis of
sex includes protection from discrimination on the basis
of sexual orientation and gender identity;
Whereas several Federal courts have correctly concluded that
discrimination against transgender people because of
their sex and gender identity violates title IX of the Edu-
cation Amendments of 1972 (20 U.S.C. 1681 et seq.),
section 1557 of the Patient Protection and Affordable
Care Act (42 U.S.C. 18116), and the Fourteenth Amend-
ment to the Constitution of the United States;
Whereas, despite the protections against discrimination on
the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity,
transgender people still experience discrimination in—
(1) medical care;
(2) employment;
(3) housing;
(4) education;
(5) lending; and

(6) other basic necessities;
Whereas President Trump has issued several executive orders
that attempt to unlawfully discriminate against
transgender people;
Whereas anti-trans individuals strive to deprive transgender
and nonbinary people of access to gender affirming care,
despite the overwhelming consensus of the medical com-
munity that gender-affirming care is essential, safe, and
life-saving health care;
Whereas the provision of best-practice, age-appropriate, gen-
der-affirming health care is endorsed by the American
Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, the Amer-
ican Academy of Family Physicians, the American Acad-
emy of Nursing, the American Academy of Pediatrics, the
American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, the
American College of Physicians, the American Counseling
Association, the American Heart Association, the Amer-
