INTERNATIONAL TRANSGENDER DAY OF VISIBILITY
Mr. SCHATZ (for himself, Ms. Hirono, Mr. Padilla, Mr. Coons, Mr. Booker, Mr. Wyden, Mr. Schiff, Mr. Welch, Mr. Merkley, Ms. Duckworth, and Mr. Fetterman) submitted the following concurrent resolution; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary:
S. Con. Res. 32
Whereas International Transgender Day of Visibility was
founded in 2009 to honor the achievements and contributions
of the transgender community;
Whereas International Transgender Day of Visibility is
designed to be encompassing of a large community of diverse
individuals;
Whereas International Transgender Day of Visibility is a
time to celebrate the lives and achievements of transgender
individuals around the world and to recognize the bravery it
takes to live openly and authentically;
Whereas International Transgender Day of Visibility is also
a time to raise awareness about the discrimination and
violence that the transgender community still faces, which
make it difficult and even unsafe or fatal for many
transgender individuals to be visible;
Whereas the transgender community has suffered oppression
disproportionately in many ways, including—
(1) discrimination in employment and in the workplace;
(2) discrimination in health care and housing;
(3) discrimination in access to public services and
facilities;
(4) discrimination in educational institutions; and
(5) disproportionate exposure to victimization and
violence;
Whereas forms of anti-transgender oppression are
exacerbated for transgender individuals of color, transgender
individuals with limited resources, transgender immigrants,
transgender individuals living with disabilities, transgender
justice-involved individuals, and transgender youth;
Whereas a record number of anti-transgender bills have been
introduced in recent years at all levels of government,
targeting areas such as—
(1) education, including by prohibiting school staff from
acknowledging or respecting transgender pupils, colleagues,
and family members, barring transgender students from
accessing gender-appropriate programs and facilities, and
censoring curriculum that allows readers to explore and
engage with differing perspectives;
(2) health care, including restrictions on both medically
necessary transition-related medical care and routine health
care services;
(3) public accommodations, such as safe access to public
restrooms and facilities; and
(4) identification documents, including by restricting the
ability to realign or correct birth certificates and other
forms of identification;
Whereas President Trump has issued multiple Executive
Orders that attempt to erase transgender people, including
Executive Order 14168 (90 Fed. Reg. 8615), Executive Order
14183 (90 Fed. Reg. 8757), Executive Order 14187 (90 Fed.
Reg. 8771), Executive Order 14190 (90 Fed. Reg. 8853), and
Executive Order 14201 (90 Fed. Reg. 9279);
Whereas the transgender community and its allies have made
it clear that transgender individuals will not be erased and
deserve to be accorded all of the rights and opportunities
made available to all;
Whereas, before the creation of the United States,
Indigenous Two-Spirit transgender individuals existed across
North America in many Native American communities, with
specific terms in their own languages for these members of
their communities and the social and spiritual roles they
fulfilled, and while many were lost or actively suppressed by
the efforts of missionaries, government agents, boarding
schools, and settlers, Two-Spirit individuals have promoted
increased public awareness in recent decades;
Whereas transgender individuals continue to tell their
stories and push for full equity under the law;
Whereas the civil rights struggle has been strengthened and
inspired by the leadership of the transgender community;
Whereas transgender individuals in the United States have
made significant strides in elected office and political
representation;
Whereas at least 36 States and the District of Columbia
have at least 1 transgender elected official at the State or
municipal level;
Whereas there are at least 23 openly transgender, gender-
nonconforming, or nonbinary elected officials in State
legislatures;
Whereas voters in the State of Delaware elected Sarah
McBride as the first openly transgender Member of the United
States Congress;
Whereas voters in the State of Virginia elected Danica Roem
as the first openly transgender State legislator in the
United States;
Whereas voters in the State of Oklahoma elected Mauree
Turner as the first openly nonbinary State legislator in the
United States;
Whereas voters in the State of New Hampshire elected James
Roesener as the first openly transgender man State legislator
in the United States;
Whereas 6 States have at least 1 transgender or gender-
nonconforming jurist on the bench;
Whereas more transgender individuals are appearing in
movies, on television, and in all forms of media, raising
awareness about their experiences and the importance of
living authentically;
Whereas transgender individuals have created culture and
history as artists, musicians, organizers, and leaders; and
Whereas International Transgender Day of Visibility is a
time to celebrate the transgender community around the world:
Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives
concurring), That Congress—
(1) supports the goals and ideals of International
Transgender Day of Visibility;
(2) encourages the people of the United States to observe
International Transgender Day of Visibility with appropriate
ceremonies, programs, and activities;
(3) celebrates the accomplishments and leadership of
transgender individuals; and
(4) recognizes the bravery of the transgender community as
it fights for equal dignity and respect.
