US EditionThousands of trans rights activists gather in London after Supreme Court ruling on definition of a woman
- Thousands of trans rights supporters gathered in London and Edinburgh on Saturday to demonstrate outside the UK Parliament following a Supreme Court decision clarifying the legal meaning of "woman."
- On Wednesday, five judges reached a unanimous decision establishing that, under the law, a woman is defined by biological sex assigned at birth, thereby excluding transgender women from this classification.
- The decision arose from a legal battle over a 2018 Scottish law requiring gender quotas on public boards, where the court found that anti-discrimination provisions refer solely to biological sex, not gender recognition certificates.
- Activists voiced fears that the ruling would increase discrimination and hinder healthcare access, while the British government said it brings clarity for women and service providers and that single-sex spaces must be defined by biological sex.
- The protests featured chants such as "trans rights are human rights" and involved the defacement of several statues in Parliament Square, among them a monument honoring Millicent Fawcett, a prominent figure in the early women's suffrage movement, underscoring the ruling’s significant social and legal implications.
