US EditionThousands of trans rights activists gather in London after Supreme Court ruling on definition of a woman
- On Saturday, April 19, 2025, thousands of trans rights activists gathered in central London and Edinburgh to protest following the UK Supreme Court’s recent decision defining a woman under the law.
- The protests followed a unanimous Supreme Court decision by five judges on Wednesday, which defined woman and sex in the 2010 Equality Act as biological terms, excluding transgender women from legal female status.
- The ruling confirmed that transgender women may be barred from accessing female-only restrooms and participating in women’s sports, permitting exclusion from single-sex environments if considered appropriate, which led organizations such as Police Scotland to reassess their transgender policies.
- Trans rights advocates condemned the ruling as deeply exclusionary and harmful, highlighting that no trans individuals or organizations were involved in the decision-making process, and indicated that ongoing protests are likely as the community continues to demand necessary protections.
- The decision generated fear in the trans community but prompted government claims of increased clarity; campaigners emphasized ongoing efforts to secure protections through legislative and public pressure.
