A 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 nonbinary people under the law and ensure their access to medical care, shelter, safety, and economic security.
This resolution declares 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 individuals. It seeks to ensure their equal access to medical care, shelter, safety, and economic security, building upon existing legal protections against discrimination. The resolution calls for amending the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to explicitly prohibit discrimination based on gender identity and sex characteristics in public accommodations and federally funded programs, and to expand the definition of public accommodation. It also aims to protect students from discrimination in all school activities, including athletics and facilities, and to clarify that religious grounds cannot be used to justify discrimination. Furthermore, the resolution seeks to clarify and reaffirm the right to bodily autonomy and healthcare for transgender and nonbinary people. This includes enforcing prohibitions against discrimination in healthcare, eliminating governmental restrictions on gender-affirming care, and protecting providers of such care from penalties. It also advocates for codifying the right to abortion and reproductive healthcare for all, banning nonconsensual surgeries on intersex children, and prohibiting conversion practices. To ensure economic security, the resolution proposes codifying the Supreme Court's judgment in Bostock v. Clayton County by amending the Civil Rights Act, Fair Housing Act, and Equal Credit Opportunity Act to explicitly prohibit discrimination based on gender identity or sex characteristics. It also addresses legal recognition by eliminating unnecessary federal gender identification requirements, simplifying updates to names and sex on government documents, and requiring an "X" marker option. The resolution also aims to strengthen the safety of transgender and nonbinary people by investing in community services, mental health programs, and suicide prevention. It seeks to ensure safe housing assignments in government custody based on individual safety needs, prohibit involuntary solitary confinement due to gender identity, and improve conditions for incarcerated transgender individuals. Finally, it mandates active enforcement of these civil rights by government agencies, including designating a liaison within the Department of Justice, and requires the collection of gender identity and sex characteristics information for equity and public health purposes.
