The resolution introduced in the West Virginia House of Delegates recognizes transgenderism as a mental disorder and affirms the existence of only two biological sexes, male and female, as supported by both scientific evidence and biblical scripture. It emphasizes the importance of psychological evaluation and appropriate mental health care for individuals experiencing gender dysphoria, particularly minors, rather than a blind affirmation of gender identity claims. The resolution expresses the belief that the government has a duty to ensure that citizens receive proper care and guidance based on sound medical practices, aiming to protect the health and safety of children.
Furthermore, the resolution calls on healthcare professionals to prioritize scientifically-supported treatments and psychological support for those experiencing gender dysphoria. It advocates for policies that ensure ethical care based on psychological and medical best practices while encouraging open dialogue among citizens about these issues, emphasizing understanding, compassion, and respect for individual dignity while maintaining a commitment to biological reality.
