Bill > HRes224

This resolution supports the recognition of "Detransition Awareness Day" and addresses the experiences of individuals who have undergone and subsequently regretted sex trait modification interventions. The resolution acknowledges the rising number of people seeking to reverse such interventions and highlights the potential physical and psychological complications, including irreversible changes, infertility, and psychological distress. It calls for comprehensive mental health support, informed consent processes that fully disclose intervention risks, and policy development to protect individuals who detransition. The resolution urges the House of Representatives to support extending statutes of limitations for medical malpractice claims related to these interventions, removing damage caps, and requesting the Department of Health and Human Services to review current medical literature and develop guidelines that prioritize patient rights and ethical medical standards. Additionally, the resolution commends individuals who have detransitioned for their courage in sharing their experiences and encourages states to adopt similar initiatives to support those who have undergone or are considering detransitioning.
