Transgender Bill of Rights: Protecting Access to Healthcare, Housing, and Jobs.

This resolution urges the Federal Government to establish a Transgender Bill of Rights, aiming to codify legal protections against discrimination in all areas of life for transgender and nonbinary citizens. If implemented, these changes would ensure equal access to employment, housing, credit, and medical care, while simplifying the process for updating federal identification documents.
Key points
Explicitly banning discrimination based on gender identity in employment, housing, public accommodations, and federally funded programs.
Removing governmental restrictions on gender-affirming medical care for adults and youth, and protecting providers of such care.
Streamlining the process for updating names and gender markers (including an "X" option) on federal documents like passports and Social Security cards.
Guaranteeing students the right to use school facilities and participate in sports consistent with their gender identity.
