<\/a><\/p>\nThe Government said the unanimous decision by five judges brought \u201cclarity and confidence\u201d for women and service providers, while a Labour Party source said Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer had brought the party to a \u201ccommon sense position\u201d on the subject from an \u201cactivist\u201d stance.<\/p>\n
It means that trans\u00a0women cannot use single-sex female toilets, changing rooms or compete in women\u2019s sports, according to the head of Britain\u2019s equalities watchdog.<\/p>\n
Police Scotland said on Friday it would review its policies on transgender issues in light of the ruling.<\/p>\n
Among the groups supporting the London protest are\u00a0Trans Kids Deserve Better, Pride in Labour, the Front for the Liberation of Intersex Non-binary and Transgender people (Flint) and TransActual.<\/p>\n
Avery Greatorex, co-chair of Pride in Labour, told the PA news agency: \u201cNot a single trans person or trans organisation was represented in that case, and so we weren\u2019t given an opportunity to have a seat at the table which is obviously a very concerning thing for our community when decisions are being made without us.<\/p>\n

Campaigners celebrated outside the Supreme Court following the ruling on Wednesday (Lucy North\/PA) <\/p>\n
\u201cSo the protest was organised to put pressure on the Government, on the public to act. To be able to secure the rights of transgender people and to secure those protections, we need legislative power and we need lobbying power.\u201d<\/p>\n
Asked whether further protests could take place in the future, she added: \u201cAll across the country there are really scared trans people, and this ruling almost gives transphobic organisations permission to go even further, because they\u2019ve got a legal precedent to do so.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere isn\u2019t really much of a choice but to keep acting and to keep protesting, so it is very possible that this does not stop until the community has the protections it needs.\u201d<\/p>\n
A spokesperson for Trans Kids Deserve Better said:\u00a0\u201cThe transmisogyny that led to this court ruling is unacceptable. Though this ruling has brought another wave of fear to the trans community, we will continue to fight for our rights and freedoms.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen you attack trans women you attack all trans people and all women. Our rights do not oppose each other, they go hand in hand, and we will keep fighting until we\u2019re all free.\u201d<\/p>\n
Speakers from across the labour movement and trans activist networks are expected to address the crowd at the London demonstration.<\/p>\n
A spokesperson for the Rail, Maritime and Transport union (RMT), who were named among the protest\u2019s supporters, said: \u201cWe have not authorised the use of our logo on any materials relating to this demonstration and we have not taken any position on this event.<\/p>\n
\u201cRMT supports the Equality Act which provides protections for women and trans people facing discrimination and we have a proud history of fighting all forms of oppression both in Britain and internationally.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Edinburgh march will see demonstrators gather at the foot of the Mound before marching to the UK Government building.<\/p>\n
In an Instagram post ahead of the protest, Resisting Transphobia said the ruling was \u201ca sham that legitimises the hate movement to force trans people out of public life, and is an attack on everyone\u2019s freedom and autonomy\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The transgender community will hold protests in both England and Scotland on Saturday, days after a Supreme Court…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":31696,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7757],"tags":[748,1102,393,5566,4884,257,18744,712,15985,18745,16,15,3069],"class_list":{"0":"post-31695","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-london","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-edinburgh","10":"tag-england","11":"tag-gender","12":"tag-great-britain","13":"tag-london","14":"tag-protest","15":"tag-scotland","16":"tag-supreme-court","17":"tag-transgender","18":"tag-uk","19":"tag-united-kingdom","20":"tag-westminster"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114362092334251755","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31695","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=31695"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31695\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/31696"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=31695"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=31695"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=31695"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
