Press for Change at Ten Downing Street in 1997

Press for Change (PFC) is a UK-based campaign group focusing on the rights and treatment of trans people. Its stated aim is "seeking respect and equality for all trans people in the UK". The group led the campaign for full legal recognition for transgender people living in Britain including the right to marry.[1] The organisation began on 27 February 1992 and its founders included Mark Rees[2] and Stephen Whittle.[3][4]
