By Nicole Mitchell & Colin MearnsHUNDREDS of people gathered in Glasgow city centre today to protest after the UK government moved to block Scottish gender recognition reforms.
Campaigners descended on the Buchanan Galleries steps from 11am to take part in the Rally for Trans Equality after branding the block as a"disgusting attack on trans people". It comes after legislation that would allow trans individuals to obtain a gender recognition certificate without a medical diagnosis in Scotland, was challenged by the UK government.The rally, which was scheduled to take place until 1pm, had both trans people and cis queer politicians speaking at the event, while trans poets also performed at intervals.
Those who gathered on Buchanan Street held signs stating"trans rights are human rights","trans liberation is liberation for all", and"trans rights now".Patrick Harvie
