"A vision that says: you are us, you belong, and you are worthy of the same rights as everyone else. This bill supports amending the Civil Rights Act to ensure that trans people have the same rights and protections as all other Americans. It creates a level playing field where trans people no longer have to fight tooth and nail to get the same treatment as their cisgender friends."
"Too often when discussing trans rights, we're forced to be on the defensive, as Republicans wage attacks. Today, we take the opportunity to look forward by introducing my Trans Bill of Rights, a comprehensive vision to provide protections for all trans and nonbinary people.[image or embed]- Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal ( @jayapal.house.gov) February 11, 2026 at 3:36 PM"
"codify the rights of transgender and nonbinary people under the law and ensure their access to medical care, shelter, safety, and economic security."
Sen. Ed Markey and Rep. Pramila Jayapal reintroduced the Transgender Bill of Rights to codify legal protections for transgender and nonbinary people and secure access to medical care, shelter, safety, and economic security. The measure would amend the Civil Rights Act to guarantee equal rights and protections and create a level playing field so trans people no longer must fight for the same treatment as cisgender peers. Jayapal framed the proposal as a comprehensive vision of belonging and worthiness and noted her personal connection as a parent of a transgender child. Markey emphasized solidarity and the need to protect trans rights every day.
