Transgender people are facing "a co-ordinated campaign of vitriol and misinformation", campaigners have warned.
Hundreds of transgender people and allies gathered in Derby Square on Saturday to protest the government's decision to try to block Scotland's vote to reform its Gender Recognition Act, making it easier for transgender people to amend their birth certificates.
The proposed reform, which has been in the making for the past six years, does not affect trans people’s existing rights to access single-sex services, such as toilets and changing rooms, as these are already protected under the Equality Act 2010.
