Hundreds turned out for the Trans Protest Rally in Parliament Square London, where protesters of all ages came to join the fight for trans equality. "I'll just make it really clear: Trans Lives Matter!" the speaker chanted, as the crowd echoed their reply. The rally was organised to protest against controversial changes to the Gender Recognition Act that are being considered by the Government.

According to reports in the Sunday Times, Downing Street is considering scrapping measures drawn up under Theresa May’s Government to enable transgender people to change their birth certificate without a medical diagnosis.

The Government is also said to be preparing new safeguards to protect female-only spaces – including refuges and public lavatories – to stop them being used by those with male anatomy.
