AI Summary
This resolution supports International Transgender Day of Visibility, which was founded in 2009 to honor the achievements of the transgender community and raise awareness about the ongoing challenges they face. The resolution acknowledges the diverse experiences of transgender individuals, highlighting the discrimination they encounter in areas such as employment, healthcare, education, and public services, with particular hardship for transgender people of color, those with limited resources, and other marginalized groups. It notes the recent increase in anti-transgender legislation across various levels of government and celebrates the community's political and cultural achievements, including the election of openly transgender officials in multiple states. The resolution calls on Congress to support the goals of the day, encourage nationwide observance, celebrate transgender accomplishments and leadership, and recognize the bravery of transgender individuals in their ongoing fight for equal dignity and respect. By doing so, the resolution aims to affirm the value and contributions of the transgender community while drawing attention to the continued struggles for equity and inclusion.
