4:18Now PlayingCongressional Democrats plan to reintroduce a bill called the Transgender Bill of Rights, which aims to codify federal protections for transgender Americans, in response to the increase in anti-trans legislation passed by some states and the advancement of restrictions by the Republican-controlled US House. John Iadarola and Brett Erlich break it down on The Damage Report.

"Congressional Democrats on Thursday plan to reintroduce a bill to codify federal protections for transgender Americans, as a number of states have passed anti-trans legislation and the Republican-controlled U.S. House is advancing restrictions.
The Transgender Bill of Rights, set to be introduced by Rep. Pramila Jayapal of Washington and Sen. Edward Markey of Massachusetts ahead of the International Transgender Day of Visibility on March 31, declares that the federal government has a duty to protect trans and nonbinary people as they experience discrimination in their day-to-day lives.
Increased federal protections are necessary in response to state lawmakers introducing hundreds of anti-LGBTQ+ bills, the bill reads, and as “the right of transgender and nonbinary people to seek lifesaving gender-affirming care is under threat across the United States.”
The bill would amend the Civil Rights Act to prohibit discrimination on the basis of sex, enforce prohibitions on discrimination in health care on the basis of gender identity and amend federal education laws to ensure that trans students are protected from discrimination. It specifically allows students to join sports teams that match their gender identity, a move that would undercut bans passed by conservative legislatures across the country."
