Maria Miller: We 'let ourselves down' on trans issues

"Former Conservative equalities minister Maria Miller has said that the trans people are still being "let down".

The MP served as Minister for Women and Equalities from 2012 to 2014, overseeing the introduction of same-sex marriage among other reforms.

She now serves as Chair of Parliament's newly-formed Women and Equalities Select Committee – which is holding a landmark inquiry into trans issues.

The inquiry has heard of issues in the way society deals with trans people – from healthcare to prisons reform, to the bureaucratic system of dealing with gender recognition."
