01 · The brief

This concurrent resolution expresses Congress's support for the goals and ideals of International Transgender Day of Visibility.

It recounts findings on discrimination and violence faced by transgender people, celebrates transgender accomplishments and representation, and encourages observance through ceremonies, programs, and activities.

Passage40/100

Nonbinding and low cost raise chance, but culturally divisive content and explicit partisan references reduce cross‑chamber consensus.
