Celebrating International Transgender Day of Visibility 2023

Lodged by Maggie Chapman (Scottish Green Party) Standard Motion 12 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament recognises 31 March 2023 as International Transgender Day of Visibility (TDoV); notes that it is an annual observance that began in 2009, which celebrates the lives and achievements of transgender and non-binary people across the world; recognises that communities around the world may use different terminology; believes that gender-variance has long existed, persisted and thrived; highlights what it sees as the importance of visibility, which, it believes, allows communities to bloom and people with shared lived experience to form bonds across borders; notes that the aim of TDoV is to increase trans equality and empower trans people to live their lives freely and confidently, and to raise awareness of the discrimination that it understands is faced by the community worldwide; believes that everyone has a role to play in supporting TDoV, and encourages everyone to consider sharing trans peoples’ stories far and wide and to ensure that, in the future, trans and non-binary people can live full and healthy lives.
