West Virginia HR6

Recognizing Transgenderism as a mental disorder and affirming the biological reality of two genders.

The biological foundation of human beings has been clear since the beginning of mankind, as described in the Holy Scriptures, which state that God created humanity in two distinct sexes, male and female, as recorded in Genesis 1:27: "So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them";

Transgenderism, or the condition of identifying with a gender other than the one assigned at birth, is a condition that may require psychological intervention

That the West Virginia House of Delegates formally recognizes that: (1) There are only two biological sexes, male and female, and these have been the case since the beginning of human history as described in the Bible, and confirmed by modern science;

(2) Transgenderism, understood as a conflict between one's biological sex and gender identity, is a condition that requires careful psychological evaluation and appropriate mental health care, not blind affirmation;

The West Virginia House of Delegates encourages citizens to engage in open dialogue about these issues [...] while upholding the importance of biological reality.
