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 Senate resolution states the sense of the Senate that the federal government has a duty to create a "Transgender Bill of Rights." It calls for amending civil rights, housing, credit, and employment laws to explicitly bar discrimination based on gender identity and sex characteristics, including in schools and public accommodations. It also calls for removing government limits on gender-affirming care, banning conversion practices, allowing an "X" marker and easier sex and name changes on federal IDs, and having TRICARE and Veterans Affairs pay for gender-affirming care. It further calls for safety measures for transgender people in custody and a Justice Department liaison to oversee enforcement of their civil rights. As a resolution, it does not itself change the law.
