Conservative MP, Crispin Blunt – who has served as a representative for Reigate since 1997 – wrote a piece for Politics Home, discussing the need to address and tackle the growing inequalities trans people are facing in the UK.
Written in honour of Trans Awareness Week 2020, Blunt argued the government should pay greater attention to the needs of the trans community, saying: “We shouldn’t ignore the continued inequalities trans people face.
2020 could have been the year when the route to real equality of rights and services opened. On rights, it didn’t.”A recent report from Transrespect versus Transphobia Worldwide (TvT), published in the run up to the Trans Day of Remembrance, says at least 350 trans people have been killed so far this.
