This is a House resolution honoring Transgender Day of Remembrance and acknowledging the serious problem of violence against transgender people in America. The resolution memorializes 27 transgender and gender nonconforming individuals who were killed in the United States between October 1, 2024, and September 30, 2025, and notes that at least 241 transgender people were killed worldwide during that same period.

The resolution recognizes that transgender Americans, particularly transgender women of color and Black transgender women, face disproportionate rates of violence, homelessness, unemployment, and barriers to healthcare. It also highlights that transgender youth have extremely high suicide attempt rates—nearly 10 times higher than the general population. The resolution points out that transgender people in institutional settings like prisons and jails, as well as transgender students in schools, face elevated risks of violence and discrimination.

Most importantly, the resolution calls on Congress and the executive branch to take action to protect transgender Americans through inclusive legislation and policies that treat everyone with dignity and respect. It expresses concern that recent anti-transgender legislation and restrictions on gender-affirming healthcare have fueled violence and worsened mental health outcomes. The resolution celebrates the resilience and leadership of the transgender community throughout American history, particularly referencing their role in the 1969 Stonewall uprising.

Supporting the goals and principles of Transgender Day of Remembrance by recognizing the epidemic of violence toward transgender people and memorializing the lives lost this year.
