Nearly 1,000 trans people and allies protest UK single-sex space guidance
Nearly 1,000 transgender people and supporters gathered outside the UK Houses of Parliament to protest new government guidance on single-sex spaces, according to video from The Guardian. The protest featured testimony from trans activists including Alfie Bailey-Bearfield of Trans+ Solidarity Alliance, who emphasized that trans individuals are not a threat and seek equal access to public life. The demonstration came after guidance excluding trans people from single-sex spaces came into force last month, participants said, with attendees calling on their MPs to address the policy.
