Supporting the goals and ideals of International Transgender Day of Visibility.

This concurrent resolution supports the goals and ideals of International Transgender Day of Visibility , established in 2009 to celebrate the achievements and contributions of the transgender community worldwide. It recognizes the bravery of transgender individuals living authentically and aims to raise awareness about the significant discrimination and violence they continue to face in areas such as employment, healthcare, and education. The resolution highlights a record number of anti-transgender bills targeting education, healthcare access, and public accommodations, alongside executive actions perceived as attempts to diminish transgender identities. Despite these challenges, it acknowledges the historical presence of transgender individuals, including Indigenous two-spirit people, and celebrates their growing representation in elected office and increasing visibility in media. Congress, therefore, resolves to support the Day of Visibility's goals, encourage public observation, celebrate the accomplishments and leadership of transgender individuals, and recognize their bravery in their ongoing fight for equal dignity and respect.
