Transgender Day of Remembrance 2023

Lodged by Maggie Chapman (Scottish Green Party) Standard Motion 15 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament recognises Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDoR) on 20 November 2023, a day that is observed annually and internationally to memorialise trans people lost to what it sees as transphobic hate, stigma and social exclusion; considers that the media and political climate in recent years has helped to create what it sees as a hostile environment for trans people across the UK, and that this has led to a reported increase in hate crimes directed towards trans people; believes that trans people need action, reassurance and support, and that LGBTQIA+ organisations, such as Four Pillars, Under One Rainbow, Dundee Pride, Stonewall, the Equality Network, Scottish Trans Alliance, and many more, facilitate such support through the services that they provide, and notes the calls on politicians from all parties and none to show compassion and solidarity with trans people, and to commit to actions that protect trans people from harm.
