- Motion text
Congress notes:
1. reported transphobic hate crime in the UK and elsewhere has risen steeply recently as the right and far-right have grown
2. even a supposedly left-wing paper has published an aggressively transphobic cartoon
2. the parliamentary Women and Equalities Committee made 30 recommendations in 2016 to improve trans rights and trans people’s lives, including self-identification under the GRA to obtain a gender recognition certificate and a new birth certificate
3. the Tory government’s consultation on these has not reported despite closing in October 2018.
Congress condemns transphobia in education and elsewhere and reiterates its solidarity with trans and non-binary people, and resolves to:
a. call on the government to immediately publish the consultation report
b. support calls to implement all of the Women and Equalities Committee’s recommendations
c. support lobbies and protests to ensure this happens, which will also be a way of uniting all those who oppose transphobia.
