Hundreds turn out for event in Liverpool city centre

But roll-backs of trans rights, including a Supreme Court ruling which states companies and public bodies should exclude trans people from gendered spaces, saw the country plummet to 22nd place out of the 49 countries in the study by ILGA-Europe.

In June last year, the Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention and Human Security issued a “red flag” alert for the segregation of trans people in the UK, stating: “The EHRC has, in the past few years, seemed to become a lobby group for erasing the rights of intersex and trans people.”

Hundreds of trans people and allies gathered at the Bombed Out Church yesterday before marching down Bold Street, through to the city centre to Derby Square.
