Trans model Dani St James joined hundreds of people who flocked to parliament square to protest controversial changes to the Gender Recognition Act that are being considered by the Government. Dani was joined by best friend and business partner Jacqui Devon. After feeling exhausted by the news both in the UK and internationally surrounding the reversal of rights of trans people, the potential removal in healthcare for trans youth and the enforcement of the single-sex spaces act, the trans duo recently launched a new fashion brand and began lobbying for change and making a difference to trans lives across the UK, adopting the slogan "Not A Phase: Support Trans Lives".

I'm not tired in a way that is going to make me give up. I am tired in a way that will make me keep pushing until the next generation of trans kids don't have to look at the news to see one of their extended trans family become another statistic of brutal violence that is condoned by our government system that is broken. We cannot accept that trans and gender non-conforming kids won't have access to live-saving medical treatment. It is not a phase. We cannot accept living in a world where cannot use the bathroom in peace. We cannot accept being vilified by the media. We are global citizens of the United Kingdom and we must fight back. We must fight back for our future and for the future of the generations that will follow us. Shame on you, Liz Truss. Shame on you, Boris Johnson. Trans rights are human rights (applause).
