"The Government's new Women and Equalities Committee has announced that its first inquiry will be centred around equality for transgender people.

The historic committee – which was created last month to scrutinise the effectiveness of the Government's equality policy – is marking its official launch by looking into how existing national policies help – or hinder – the trans community across Britain.
It will consider how far the UK has left to go before trans people have full equal rights – and how outstanding issues surrounding issues such as gender recognition and transphobia can be most effectively addressed."
