Attitudes towards transgender people are "20 years behind" those towards gay, lesbian and bisexual (LGB) individuals, Kellie Maloney has said.

The boxing promoter told the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire programme the transgender community was "frightened to come forward", adding: "We're seen as freaks, we're seen as perverts."
