Referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce, and in addition to the Committee on Education and Workforce, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
H.Res. 827 is a non-binding resolution that expresses support for recognizing October 26, 2025, as Intersex Awareness Day and endorses the goals and ideals associated with this day. The resolution acknowledges that intersex people—those born with natural variations in sex characteristics—face discrimination and harm, particularly from nonconsensual medical surgeries performed on children. It emphasizes that major medical organizations and the Biden-Harris administration have opposed these surgeries unless medically necessary and encourage delaying such interventions until children can consent. The resolution calls on federal agencies, states, schools, and healthcare providers to support intersex individuals' rights, bodily autonomy, and self-determination, while increasing public awareness and education about the intersex community. There is no funding or specific timeline attached to this symbolic resolution, which is designed to signal congressional support for intersex rights and protections.
