Proceeding contribution from Stephen Doughty (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 20 November 2017. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Companies House and Transgender Persons.


Companies House and Transgender Persons

I commend the right hon. lady on securing this Adjournment debate. I met one of my local trans support groups in Cardiff and they shared with me many of their concerns. Steps such as the one we are discussing can go a long way in reducing stigma. Does she agree that there have been some unpleasant headlines in certain media outlets in recent weeks and that many trans people feel very stigmatised because of some of the ill-educated and ill-informed debate that goes on in the media?
