UK: Protest against Supreme Court ruling on trans women.

Thousands of activists demonstrated in London on Saturday against the Supreme Court’s ruling. The court ruled that, under the law, trans women are not considered women. As a result, trans women are no longer allowed to use public toilets and spaces designated for women. They can also be searched by male security officers at border crossings. According to the Supreme Court, other laws exist that protect trans women from discrimination.

Thousands of activists, including many trans activists, took part in the demonstration at Parliament Square, alongside business and employers’ organizations and public institutions. Among the groups present were Trans Kids Deserve Better, Pride In Labour, the Front For The Liberation Of Intersex Non-binary And Transgender People (FLINT), and TransActual. The protest featured many transgender flags and slogans calling for “trans liberation” and “trans rights.” During the demonstration, about seven statues, including one of suffragette leader Millicent Fawcett, were defaced with graffiti.
