This resolution would officially recognize March 12, 2026, as "Detransition Awareness Day" at the federal level. The designation aims to raise awareness about people who have reversed gender transition decisions, though it does not create any new laws or programs. The resolution is primarily symbolic and would need to pass both chambers of Congress to take effect.

Whereas gender ideology has resulted in irreparable harm to individuals, especially minors; Whereas no child should be pushed into irreversible chemical and surgical procedures, sex change interventions, or receiving hormones or puberty blockers; Whereas the influence of social media and other online platforms has perpetuated harms that gender ideology poses to children; Whereas medical interventions by healthcare professionals, under the guise of ``gender affirming care'', have damaged the healthy bodily and hormonal development of children; Whereas many minors seeking to transition have a history of 1 or more mental health disorders, including gender dysphoria, anxiety, depression, body dysmorphia, eating disorders, and suicidal thoughts; Whereas, according to the Department of Health and Human Services, ``Sex- rejecting procedures on children--which include puberty blockers, cross- sex hormones, and surgical operations--expose them to irreversible damage, including infertility, impaired sexual function, diminished bone density, altered brain development, and other irreversible physiological effects''; Whereas, since 2013, the rate of gender dysphoria in children has dramatically increased; Whereas about 42,000 children and teens across the United States received a gender dysphoria diagnosis in 2021, which is nearly triple the number of gender dysphoria diagnoses that occurred in 2017, according to Reuters; Whereas at least 121,882 children ages 6 to 17 were diagnosed with gender dysphoria from 2017 through 2021, with similar data from diagnoses covered by Medicaid, according to Reuters; Whereas at least 14,726 of minors with gender dysphoria diagnoses started hormone intervention from 2017 through 2021, according to Reuters; Whereas over 5,700 of the 13,994 minors across the United States who received medical intervention for gender dysphoria over the course of 4 years were operated on, according to Do No Harm's ``Does My Hospital Transition Kids?'' database; Whereas approximately 225 children's hospitals in the United States provide some version of ``gender affirming care''; Whereas many of the individuals who underwent these transition procedures, like detransitioner and activist Chloe Cole, ultimately pursue the process of detransitioning; and Whereas Detransition Awareness Day has been nationally recognized since 2021: Now, therefore, be it Resolved, That the Senate-- (1) designates March 12, 2026, as ``Detransition Awareness Day''; and (2) celebrates and commits to fostering the biological reality of young men and women. <all>
