They want to codify a Supreme Court decision to protect transgender and gay individuals from discrimination.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><b>From The Hill:<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The proposal, dubbed the \u201cTransgender Bill of Rights,\u201d would codify the Supreme Court\u2019s 2020 Bostock v. Clayton County decision that protects employees against discrimination for being gay or transgender.<\/p>\n<p>The proposal would amend the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to explicitly include protections for gender identity and sex characteristics, expand access to gender-affirming care and ban conversion therapy.<\/p>\n<p>It would also require the attorney general to designate a liaison dedicated to overseeing enforcement of civil rights for transgender people and invest in community services to prevent anti-transgender violence.<\/p>\n<p>Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.), the chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus and co-chair of the Transgender Equality Task Force, said in a statement that the resolution would ensure transgender people can lead \u201cfull, happy lives.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs we witness Republicans and an extremist Supreme Court attack and roll back the fundamental rights of trans people across our country, and as state legislatures across the country target our trans community with hateful, bigoted and transphobic attacks, we are standing up and saying enough is enough,\u201d Jayapal said.<\/p>\n<p>Jayapal introduced the proposal alongside Reps. David Cicilline (D-R.I.), Marie Newman (D-Ill.), Mark Takano (D-Calif.) and Ritchie Torres (D-N.Y.). The bill has 84 other co-sponsors.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Does, \u201cfull, happy lives,\u201d also include transgenders competing in female sports?
