RESOLUTION 
Expressing support for the recognition of ‘‘Detransition 
Awareness Day’’. 
Whereas many individuals who have undergone sex trait 
modification interventions later regret such interventions; 
Whereas the number of individuals seeking to reverse such 
interventions has risen significantly, highlighting a need 
for greater understanding and support; 
Whereas many individuals who have undergone sex trait 
modification interventions face irreversible physical 
changes and suffer from a range of health complications, 
including genital mutilation, sexual dysfunction, infer-
tility, osteoporosis, and psychological distress;

Whereas there is a critical need for comprehensive, 
noninvasive, and evidence-based care for individuals expe-
riencing discomfort with their sex that focuses on mental 
health support rather than solely on physiological inter-
ventions; and 
Whereas individuals who have undergone sex trait modifica-
tion interventions and have returned to living in the re-
ality of their sex often encounter retribution and hateful 
rhetoric for publicly announcing regret and face barriers 
to receiving appropriate medical, psychological, and social 
support after making the choice to detransition, including 
lack of insurance coverage for corrective or reparative 
treatments: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 
(1) supports the recognition of ‘‘Detransition 
Awareness Day’’ to acknowledge the experiences of 
individuals who have detransitioned, or are in the 
process of detransitioning, and have returned to liv-
ing in the reality of their sex, and to foster public 
and legislative understanding of the challenges of 
such individuals; 
(2) urges the development and implementation 
of policies that— 
(A) ensure comprehensive mental health 
services are available for individuals who experi-
ence discomfort with their sex; and 
(B) advocate for informed consent proc-
esses that fully disclose the risks of sex trait

modification interventions, including the poten-
tial for regret and the irreversible nature of 
such interventions; 
(3) calls for legislative action to— 
(A) extend the statute of limitations for 
claims related to medical malpractice or neg-
ligence in providing sex trait modification inter-
ventions to recognize the delayed realization of 
harm in many cases; and 
(B) remove any existing caps on damages 
for individuals harmed by sex trait modification 
interventions to ensure adequate compensation 
for both physical and psychological injuries; 
(4) requests that the Department of Health and 
Human Services conduct a review of current lit-
erature regarding care for individuals struggling 
with discomfort due to their sex, promulgate new 
guidelines, as determined necessary, to promote eth-
ical medical standards and practices that do not in-
volve physiologically invasive practices that attempt 
to alter the sex traits of an individual, and revise 
guidelines to better protect patient rights and 
health;

detransitioning, and have returned to living in the 
reality of their sex for their courage in sharing their 
stories and working towards better care and under-
standing for those in similar situations; and 
(6) encourages all States to adopt similar reso-
lutions and initiatives to support such individuals 
and to ensure that all medical interventions are con-
ducted according to the highest ethical standards.
