Around 100 organisations, including campaign groups Stonewall and Amnesty International and companies Absolut, Barclays, Citi, Lloyds Banking Group and Tesco, have backed a full-page advertisement published in the UK free newspaper Metro on 17 October which supports the transgender community. The advertisement is in response to an anti-trans advert placed in the paper last week by the group Fair Play For Women. In it, two women are shown having sex with each other while wearing only underwear. Changes proposed under the GRA would make it easier for trans people to legally alter their gender.
