The return of Labour to government was met with caution by members of the trans community after years of anti-trans rhetoric from the Conservatives, and the then opposition's wavering stance on issues such as single-sex spaces and self-ID.
Health secretary Wes Streeting, who had earlier said he regretted making the statement that 'trans women are women', defended extending the emergency ban, saying he was 'determined to improve the quality of, and access to, care for trans people'.
At the rally, Nottingham East MP Nadia Whittome expressed disappointment in Labour's early months in power and urged her party to tackle the transphobia in its ranks.
Activists at the rally emphasized the urgency of addressing trans rights and cautioned against complacency, insisting on accountability from Labour for dangerously perceived delays in progress.
