Thousands of trans -rights protesters met in downtown London on Saturday, April 19, days after the United Kingdom Supreme Court ruled that a woman is a biological born and that transgender women are excluded from that legal. With the lack of time growing on what the ruling for the rights of transgender people means, protesters joined for what was announced as an emergency manifestation in Parliament. The activists demanded the “trans liberation” and the “trans rights now”, with some agitated flags and banners.

Trans groups are concerned that Wednesday’s historical decision is their rights, he only thought that the highest court in the United Kingdom said that transgender people remain protected from discrimination. The head of the Equality and Human Rights Commission said the ruling will mean that transgender women will be excluded from women’s bathrooms, hospital rooms and sports teams.

“It is a terrifying moment to have your rights tasks far from you,” said the 19 -year -old transgender woman Sophie Gibbs. “I was disappointed to think that we could live in a society that seems so progressive now but is willing to make such a dangerous and harmful decision.”

The British government has said that the unanimous decision of the five judges brought “clarity and trust” for women and service providers. Of about 66 million people in England, Scotland and Wales, around 116,000 identified as Trans in the last census count. Around 8,500 gender recognition certificates have leg problems.

‘Pain and anguish’

The ruling voted for a 2018 law approved by the Scottish Parliament that required at least 50% of women in boards of Scottish public bodies. Transgender women with gender recognition certificates should be included to comply with the fee. The Supreme Court Said That Using A Certificate To Interpret Someone’s Sex would Clash With Definitions Of Man And Woman And, Therefore, The Anti-Discrimination Provisions of the 2010 Equality Act Could “Only Be Interpreted As Referring Terring Terring Terring Terring Terring Terring Terring Terring Terring Terring Terring Terring Terring Terring Terring Terring Terring Terring Terring Terring Terring Terring Terring Terring Terring Terring Terring Toological Sex “.

The Prime Minister of Scotland, John Swinney, said on Saturday that “understands” trans people of “pain and anguish” who feel for the verdict, while accepting that the failure must be followed.

Many people in Saturday’s protest worried that the ruling could be the precursor of other judgments that reduce rights for transgender people. Zuleha Oshodi, 29, intervened on the subject: “It is a situation of Pandora’s box in which I think we allow certain things and then essentially open to allow much more than we plan to be accepted or pushed by three.”
