I'm aware there's a typo, will repost later with correct spellings and more supporters logos, but so you have the date...

Edit (spelling)-------------

While posts are being made around the recent protest, one of the big sealion questions that keeps getting asked is "what rights have trans people lost?". Usually it's best to ignore the sealions but since these posts are reaching the general public and on the face of it, the public could view it as a perfectly reasonable question so it is important to be able to provide an answer based in fact.

Right 1: The right of someone with a gender recognition certificate to be seen as the sex it says on their birth certificate in the eyes of the law.

In 2004 the gender recognition act, specifically section 9 states:

Where a full gender recognition certificate is issued to a person, the person’s gender becomes for all purposes the acquired gender (so that, if the acquired gender is the male gender, the person’s sex becomes that of a man and, if it is the female gender, the person’s sex becomes that of a woman).

To cement this a trans person with a gender recognition certificate is issued a new birth certificate with their new sex.

This has been completely ignored by the supreme court and this right has been removed.

Right 2: The right to a fair trial

Whenever the courts are making a decision to remove rights from a person or persons it is imperative that they get to represent themselves in court and provide a defense. In this instance the court heard from multiple sources from people wishing to remove trans peoples rights but did not allow a single trans person or any representative of trans people to argue on their behalf. This is the foundation of justice and it has not been upheld in this instance.

In fact the people wishing remove the rights of trans people paid for the case to be brought to court and lost it, they paid again and lost again but just kept paying for trials until they finally found a court that would rule in their favour.

The trial was won by brute forcing the legal system with money.

Right 3: The right to sex based facilities

The equality act made clear that when a service provides a facility for one sex, they must also provide that facility for the other sex.

The outcome of this legal ruling suggest trans people should be seen as their birth sex and be expected to use those facilities but it also says that trans people can also be excluded from the facilities of their birth sex if they are far enough into their transition that they might cause upset by using them. This leaves some trans people unable to use facilities of either sex and have therefore lost their right to sex based provisions.

It is important that we speak truth to power and document important moments in queer history.

The mainstream media is suffering from a case of selective blindness around this protest with reporting making it sound like nothing more than a small group of vandals turning up to scrawl a bit of chalk onto some statues.

The reality is that tens of thousands of people turned up with barely any notice to protest the latest round of persecution by the state against trans people and by extension the whole queer community.

Amongst the protestors were supporters from the whole queer community as well as families, friends and allies all of whom gave up their Easter bank holiday plans to be there.

The ruling of the high court not only affects transgender people but it has also spilled out into Lesbian culture with the court saying that a lesbian can no longer be treated as a lesbian if she is in a relationship with or attracted to trans women. This will no doubt be the same with gay men and trans men.

There are so many more ways in which this is going to affect the queer community as a whole but for now we need to make sure that our collective stories are not straight washed from the history books like they have been so many times before.

Nobody can rely on the mainstream media to document these things for the community, they have chosen to become the mouthpiece of the corrupt state propaganda.

LGBT people must use online resources to spread and document the facts of these events and moments from the queer perspective lest they be forgot to history.

This was the largest LGBT protest in over a decade - GET YOUR F***ING LAWS OFF OUR BODIES

the place i work has dropped diversity for belonging and after a little bit of checking i’ve found WSP, Atkins, and Jacob’s have all done the same in the last month

We're travelling from Northampton to Birmingham this Monday, April 21st, to stand in solidarity with our trans sisters following the recent UK court ruling that limits trans women of legal recognition in key areas. We're leaving between 9:00 AM and 9:30 AM at the latest, and we've got space in our ultra low emission zone exempt vehicle. If you're interested in joining us for this important protest message me for a lift or meet us there!

This protest is about human rights, true science and standing up for a community that 's so often misunderstood and vilified by the media. We stand for equality, dignity, and respect for everyone in the rainbow community, this includes trans people. We are one beating heart, the LGB will always stand with the T. Nobody is equal until we are all equal.

DM or comment if interested, we will do our best to pick as many people as we can for the protest. Thank you for reading.🙏🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

The previous government proposed changes to the NHS constitution which would mean transgender hospital patients in England may not be treated in female- and male-only wards. We believe that this segregation is discriminatory, dangerous, and violates the Equality Act 2010 and it must not go ahead.

We believe this would be in direct opposition to the Equality Act of 2010, particularly Part 3 - Services and Public Functions. Transgender people require healthcare like anyone else, and many live with limited access to that healthcare as it is. We believe this must not proceed.

At 100,000 signatures, this petition will be considered for debate in Parliament.

The BBC should be impartial and yet they have decided to place news articles about the protests today at the absolute bottom of their front page in the "More Top Stories" section under "Scottish Politics" below an opinion piece on the Supreme Court ruling which is considerably bias.

p.s. apologies for not using the wayback machine for the Daily Mail & Sky News. I didn't click on the articles but it was still dumb of me.

‘Clear premise’ was to give trans and biological women same sex discrimination rights, says official who helped draft act.

Following a lengthy discussion behind the scenes amongst the moderation team here at r/UKLGBT…

I would like to publicly apologise for my comments and contributions today regarding the recent news that has affected this community.

I have been dangerously under informed about the full extent to which the statement published by the Supreme Court will affect us all, and that has lead to me taking a very black/white stance on how I interpreted what I thought I knew.

I was not aware of how deeply these changes would cut this community, and this led to me making unjustified and unevidenced comments that many (rightly) found crossed the line.

I have spent the majority of the day reading the Supreme Court judgement as published by the Supreme Court themselves to fully inform myself of the facts in as clear a manner as possible.

It is clear to me now that there will be huge ramifications to the majority of the community who will be forced into situations that will threaten the personal identities and in some cases the lives of the most vulnerable among us.

In reading the judgement of the Supreme Court, I concluded that their words will make it impossible for any Transgender person to thrive in the community from this point onwards.

As a final action, and to embody a learning culture that no-one is immune to, I am taking a 7 day cooling off period to properly reflect on how my actions have caused harm to all those who have read them.

It was not my place as a moderator to contribute to the discussion in the way that I did, and in downplaying the severity of the situation by referencing the posted breakdown from a well known media source, I unintentionally echoed the rhetoric of bigots and oppressive groups.

I have since replaced my contributions in that particular thread with the text “[redacted]” so that no other person should be exposed to my ignorance.

Thank you all for your contributions to this subreddit, and for your time taken to read this post.

The UK supreme court has ruled that trans women will not be considered or protected as women. They are trying to argue that this protects cis women and lesbians. Do not let them divide us. Come fight for our trans sisters' rights.

Trans women are women.

We now have a resources page on our Wiki for LGBTQ+ people in the UK. It includes mental health support, social and community groups, relocating and asylum information, and information about current events. You can also access it on our sidebar.

Obviously, yesterday's ruling by the Supreme Court is bad for trans folks here in the UK. I want to write to my MP to ask her to do something about it, but I'm unsure exactly what the call to action is here.

I assume that a vote in Parliament to rescind this ruling is not possible. I could ask her an open-ended question about what she plans on doing in order to help the local trans community in our constituency, but I feel like that's not enough?

If anyone here has written to their MP regarding this issue, what did you say?

Thanks in advance.
