The resolution from the West Virginia House of Delegates recognizes only two biological sexes, male and female, asserting that this understanding is supported by both scientific evidence and biblical teachings. It characterizes transgenderism as a mental health condition that may require psychological evaluation and intervention rather than mere affirmation of gender identity. The resolution emphasizes the importance of providing appropriate mental health care, particularly for minors experiencing gender dysphoria, and advocates for healthcare professionals to prioritize scientifically-supported treatments.
Furthermore, the resolution calls for the state to protect the health and safety of children by ensuring they receive guidance based on sound medical and psychological practices. It encourages open dialogue among citizens about these issues, promoting understanding and respect for individual dignity while maintaining a commitment to biological reality. The House of Delegates expresses its intention to continue advocating for policies that align with these principles.
