Jayapal’s resolution calls for gender-identity rules in school sports

Some Democratic candidates discussed passing a “Trans Bill of Rights” if Democrats retake the House¹, Talk Radio 1190 reports; H. Res. 1058 separately calls for a federal Transgender Bill of Rights. Its text calls for federal law guaranteeing students participation by gender identity in school athletics and access to facilities².

“The upcoming midterms are going to determine the fate of our children in America, and we need to make sure that we get every Republican to the polls”

For parents, the stake is a federal rule on their children: H. Res. 1058 calls for eliminating governmental restrictions on what it calls gender-affirming medical care for transgender and nonbinary "adults and adolescents²." Terry Schilling, president of American Principles Project, told Talk Radio 1190 that many voters have the wrong idea about where the fight stands. Schilling tied that directly to November: "The upcoming midterms are going to determine the fate of our children in America, and we need to make sure that we get every Republican to the polls." He warned that "going backwards here in this midterm election could cause serious damage to our effort to protect children¹."

The outlet also reports that Texas Democratic U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico told supporters he “plans to support the trans agenda like he always has, if he gets elected.” Terry Schilling, president of American Principles Project, told KTRH that "This trans issue, especially in Texas, could be the deciding factor in the U.S. Senate race and several House races all across the country¹."

Your Rep’s Record says H. Res. 1058 was submitted on February 11, 2026, with 95 original cosponsors³. Its own text calls the listed actions "only the first steps toward transgender equality," so parents are looking at the opening of an agenda².

H. Res. 1058 was referred to the House Judiciary Committee and, in addition, to the Education and Workforce, Energy and Commerce, Financial Services, Oversight and Government Reform, Armed Services, Veterans' Affairs, and House Administration committees³. Families can watch whether the House Judiciary and Education and Workforce committees report the resolution, which Your Rep's Record listed as unreported on October 8, 2026.
