Protesters in London Decry Top Court’s Ruling Attacking Trans and Nonbinary Community 

HeadlineApr 22, 2025

In London, thousands of transgender and nonbinary people, joined by their allies, gathered in Parliament Square over the weekend, as protests continue following the United Kingdom’s unanimous Supreme Court ruling declaring the definition of a woman does not include trans women, who will no longer be protected under Britain’s Equality Act. This is one of the protesters.

Esmee: “Cis people need to start rallying and understanding that transphobia doesn’t just hurt transgender people. They are policing women. They’re policing femininity. They’re policing how we look. And we can’t allow that.”
