UK trans activists rally against Supreme Court ruling on definition of woman (PHOTOS)

The protesters were outraged by the exclusion of transgender individuals from the Equality Act 2010

Thousands of transgender people and activists held a protest in London after Britain’s top court ruled that biological sex defines a woman under the Equality Act.

The verdict effectively excluded trans individuals, including those holding a Gender Recognition Certificate (GRC), from the anti-discrimination legislation passed in 2010.

On Saturday, the activists gathered in Parliament Square, holding signs that said “Trans women are women” and slamming the ruling as “transphobic.”

According to police, seven statues were vandalized, including a monument to feminist writer and women’s voting rights campaigner Millicent Fawcett.
