Hundreds gathered on College Green on 18 July to protest against the government's most recent proposed attack on the rights of trans people.
The Tories propose dropping reform to the Gender Recognition Act, which would have allowed trans people to self-identify and made it easier to change their legal gender.
The protest was static, with attendees socially distancing, most wearing masks.
A few people got up to speak, highlighting the discrimination and abuse they had faced and calling for the recognition that trans rights are human rights.
Socialist Party members joined the protest, handing out leaflets supporting the right of self-identification and for trans rights more generally.
Most attendees were keen to read our leaflet and learn more about our demands.
The coronavirus crisis has laid bare the class character of society in numerous ways. It is making clear to many that it is the working class that keeps society running, not the CEOs of major corporations.
The results of austerity have been graphically demonstrated as public services strain to cope with the crisis.
The government has now ripped up its 'austerity' mantra and turned to policies that not long ago were denounced as socialist. But after the corona crisis, it will try to make the working class pay for it, by trying to claw back what has been given.
Inevitably, during the crisis we have not been able to sell the Socialist and raise funds in the ways we normally would.
We therefore urgently appeal to all our viewers to click here to donate to our Fighting Fund.
