the following concurrent resolution2    
which was referred to the ,committee on 
the ,judiciary  ,,concurrent            
,,resolution  ,supporting the goals and 
ideals of ,international ,transgender   
,day of ,visibility4  ,whereas          
,international ,transgender ,day of     
,visibility was founded in #bjji to     
honor the achievements and contributions
 of the transgender community2 ,whereas 
,international ,transgender ,day of     
,visibility is designed to be           
encompassing of a large community of    
diverse individuals2 ,whereas           
,international ,transgender ,day of     
,visibility is a time to celebrate the  
lives and achievements of transgender   

individuals around the world1 and to    
recognize the bravery it takes to live  
openly and authentically2 ,whereas      
,international ,transgender ,day of     
,visibility is also a time to raise     
awareness of the discrimination and     
violence that the transgender community 
still faces1 which make it difficult and
 even unsafe or fatal for many          
transgender individuals to be visible2  
,whereas the transgender community has  
suffered oppression disproportionately  
in many ways1 including-- 7#a7          
discrimination in employment and in the 
workplace2  7#b7 discrimination in      
health care and housing2  7#c7          
discrimination in access to public      
services and facilities2  7#d7          
discrimination in educational           
institutions2 and  7#e7 disproportionate
 exposure to victimization and violence2
 ,whereas forms of anti-transgender     
oppression are exacerbated for          
transgender individuals of color1       
individuals with limited resources1     

immigrants1 individuals living with     
disabilities1 justice-involved          
individuals1 and transgender youth2     
,whereas a record number of             
anti-transgender bills have been        
introduced in recent years at all levels
 of government1 targeting areas such    
as-- 7#a7 education1 including by       
prohibiting school staff from           
acknowledging or respecting transgender 
pupils1 colleagues1 and family members1 
barring transgender students from       
accessing gender-appropriate programs   
and facilities1 and censoring curriculum
 that allows readers to explore and     
engage with differing perspectives2     
7#b7 healthcare1 including restrictions 
on both medically necessary             
transition-related medical care and     
routine health care services2  7#c7     
public accommodations1 such as safe     
access to public restrooms and          
facilities2 and  7#d7 identification    
documents1 including by restricting the 
ability to realign or correct birth     

certificates and other forms of         
identification2 ,whereas ,president     
,trump has issued multiple ,executive   
orders1 including ,executive ,orders    
#adafh1 #adahc1 #adahg1 #adaij and      
#adbja1 that attempt to erase           
transgender people2 ,whereas the        
transgender community and their 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    
all2 ,whereas1 before the creation of   
the ,united ,states1 ,indigenous        
two-spirit1 transgender individuals     
existed across ,north ,america in many  
,native ,american communities1 with     
specific terms in their own languages   
for these members of their communities  
and the social and spiritual roles they 
fulfilled1 and while many were lost or  
actively suppressed by the efforts of   
missionaries1 government agents1        
boarding schools1 and settlers1         
two-spirit individuals have promoted    

increased public awareness in recent    
decades2 ,whereas transgender           
individuals continue to tell their      
stories and push for full equity under  
the law2 ,whereas the civil-rights      
struggle has been strengthened and      
inspired by the leadership of the       
transgender community2 ,whereas

gender-nonconforming1 or nonbinary      
elected officials in ,state             
legislatures2 ,whereas voters in the

,mc,bride as the first openly           
transgender ,member of the ,united

history as artists1 musicians1          
organizers1 and leaders2 and ,whereas   
,international ,transgender ,day of     
,visibility is a time to celebrate the  
transgender community around the world3

,international ,transgender ,day of     
,visibility2  7#b7 encourages the people
