SATURDAY 19TH APRIL 1PM FOOT OF THE MOUND, EDINBURGH –RESIST TRANSPHOBIA! RESIST ERASURE! RESIST THE UK SUPREME COURT RULING!

We will gather at 1pm at the Foot of the Mound – in front of the National Gallery and next to the Royal Academy. We will rally with speeches for 30 minutes, and then march to the UK Government building.

On Wednesday, the UK Supreme Court ruled in favour of the For Women Scotland anti-trans group, in a judgement that strips away the protections that allow trans people to live as the sex and gender they are.

The court ruled that, for the purposes of equality legislation, “sex” refers to “biological sex,” which the court defined as the “sex of a person at birth.”

Tellingly, although the Court heard evidence from three different anti-trans groups, trans people were specifically blocked from giving evidence.

The case is a sham that legitimises the hate movement to force trans people out of public life, and is an attack on everyone’s freedom and autonomy.

The UK Parliment and Supreme Court have shown that they are actively hostile towards trans existence. We urge the people of Scotland to resist and ignore this Wednesday’s verdict. Protesting this unjust, horrific ruling is only the start.

Nothing about us without us!
