SUPREME COURT Shock: Angry Trans Activists Deface Historic London Statues
— Furious activists filled Parliament Square after the British Supreme Court ruled that sex is biologically binary. The court’s decision blocks men who identify as women from entering women-only spaces. Protesters responded by vandalizing statues, including the famous suffragette Millicent Fawcett monument.
Demonstrators held signs saying “trans women are real women” and “biology is not binary.” Palestinian flags and transgender symbols waved side by side, as speakers urged unity between trans activists and pro-Palestinian groups.
The crowd chanted, “One struggle, one fight: Palestine — trans rights.” Many online slammed this message as out of touch since LGBTQ people face harsh punishment under Islamist regimes like Hamas in Gaza. In much of the Middle East, homosexuality is illegal and can lead to severe penalties.
Critics called out the protestors for being either ignorant or hypocritical. Author Aviva Klompas said their lack of awareness was shocking, while former IDF spokesman Peter Lerner noted that many LGBTQ Palestinians escape to Israel to avoid persecution in Gaza.
