A resolution designating March 12, 2026, as "Detransition Awareness Day".

Key Points

• Sen. Blackburn introduced a proposal to make March 12, 2026, a special day called 'Detransition Awareness Day.' This day is intended to recognize people who started a gender transition but later decided to stop or reverse the process.
• The resolution argues that medical treatments for gender changes, such as puberty blockers and surgeries, can cause permanent harm to children. It lists concerns about long-term health issues like infertility and bone density problems.
• The document points to data showing that the number of children diagnosed with gender-related distress has tripled since 2017. It notes that tens of thousands of minors have received medical diagnoses or treatments in recent years.
• This is a 'simple resolution,' which means it is a formal statement of the Senate's opinion. It does not change any laws, create new regulations for healthcare providers, or involve any government spending.
