Transgender Day of Remembrance 2021

Lodged by Maggie Chapman (Scottish Green Party) Members' Business Motion 30 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament recognises Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDoR) on 20 November 2021, a day, which is observed annually and internationally, to memorialise trans people lost to transphobia; understands that, while the murder of trans people for being trans in the UK is rare, suicide is not; further understands that more than one in four (27%) trans young people have attempted to take their own lives, and that nine in 10 (89%) have thought about it, with 72% having self-harmed at least once; believes that the current media climate has not helped; further believes that trans people need reassurance and support, and notes calls on members to show their solidarity and support for trans people.
