H.Res. 224 — Expressing support for the recognition of "Detransition Awareness Day".

This section supports the recognition of Detransition Awareness Day to acknowledge the experiences of individuals who have detransitioned or are detransitioning and have returned to living in the reality of their sex. This section urges the development of policies ensuring comprehensive mental health services for individuals experiencing discomfort with their sex and informed consent processes that disclose the risks, including regret and irreversibility, of sex trait modification interventions. This section calls for legislative action to extend statutes of limitations for related medical malpractice or negligence claims and to remove existing caps on damages for physical and psychological injuries. This section requests that the Department of Health and Human Services review current literature on care for individuals with discomfort due to their sex, promulgate guidelines as necessary to promote ethical standards without physiologically invasive practices that alter sex traits, and revise guidelines to protect patient rights and health. This section commends detransitioned individuals for sharing their experiences and encourages states to adopt similar resolutions.
