Yesterday the British prime minister Gordon Brown stood shoulder to shoulder with the trans community to mark Transgender day of Remembrance.

In a first for a British Prime minister, Gordon Brown has made a statement describing violence and harassment against trans people as "utterly unacceptable".

He made the comments to mark the 11th International Transgender Day of Remembrance, which recognises trans people worldwide who have died as a result of prejudice and hate.
