NDP statement on the International Transgender Day of Visibility « Canada’s NDP

Canada’s NDP leader Jagmeet Singh made the following statement:

“New Democrats join in the celebration of two-spirit, transgender, and non-binary Canadians on the International Transgender Day of Visibility. Together, we’re taking a stand against hate and bigotry.

Trans visibility matters. Canadians are increasingly worried about dangerous ideology from Conservative politicians, here in Canada and abroad, that fuels hate and attacks trans rights.

Transgender Canadians —especially trans women and trans women of colour—continue to disproportionately face hate, abuse and violence. Any policies that stoke division and make trans people, including children, less safe are wrong and unacceptable.

New Democrats are committed to standing against these attacks and to protecting people’s rights.

You can always count on New Democrats to defend Canadians’ right to gender affirming care.

Today, we stand with 2SLBGTQIA+ communities to protect trans lives. Together we can build a Canada where everyone feels safe and supported in their communities. Trans rights are human rights.”
