A protest is set to take place over the UK Supreme Court ruling that transgender people are not included under the Gender Equality Act.

As first announced by the Feminist Gender Equality Network, the protest, which will begin at 1:00 PM Saturday, will be crucial in conveying the anger that the community is feeling at being excluded.

Update: What The Trans has a list of protests that will take place all over the UK.

The Equality Act 0f 2010 was heralded as a cornerstone victory for humankind by cisgender and transgender people alike. But to TERFs (Transgender Exclusionary Radicalised Feminists), it was unconscionable that transgender humans could be protected under law, any law.

The Equality Act 2010 provision section 7 "Gender reassignment" remains unchanged at the moment, but the jackels are at the door demanding it be removed.

Updated guidance for public bodies after the UK supreme court’s ruling that a woman is defined in law by biological sex is expected to be issued by the summer, the head of the equalities regulator said on Thursday.

Lady Kishwer Falkner, the chair of the Equality and Human Rights Commission, described the ruling as “enormously consequential”, telling BBC Radio 4’s Today programme: “We are going to have a new statutory code of practice, statutory meaning it will be the law of the land, it will be interpreted by courts as the law of the land. We’re hoping we’re going to have that by the summer.”

She said it would give “clarity” that trans women could not participate in women’s sports or use women-only toilets or changing rooms, and the NHS must update its guidance on single-sex wards based on biological sex.

Planned Parenthood Arizona Resumes Gender Affirming Care

Planned Parenthood Arizona has resumed gender-affirming medical care, the organization said in a statement. The pause "occurred out of an abundance of caution after threats to the Medicaid services in our state," and an "onslaught of attacks on sexual and reproductive health care services in Arizona and across the country."

“Planned Parenthood Arizona deeply values and is dedicated to the LGBTQIA+ community, which includes our patients, supporters, and staff. We recognize how critical it is for our patients to have certainty to access essential services, including gender-affirming care.

After a brief pause, we are pleased to announce the continuation of our gender-affirming care services. This pause occurred out of an abundance of caution after threats to the Medicaid services in our state.

The onslaught of attacks on sexual and reproductive health care services in Arizona and across the country is alarming, and is a clear, continued effort to shut down Planned Parenthood. This will not be the last threat that aims to deny people medically sound, essential health care, needlessly putting them at risk and unnecessarily creating chaos and confusion around the accessibility of services.”
