Description
A small group of trans rights protesters gathers in London opposite Downing Street to express their anger and disappointment after the UK government exercised an unprecedented veto to block a new law passed by the Edinburgh parliament. The legislation would make it easier for people to self-identify as transgender in Scotland, without the need for a medical diagnosis, and lower the qualifying age from 18 to 16. Of the move by the UK government, trans rights campaigner Owen Hurcum says "they're lying when they say it's about anything other than transphobia." IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
