Why are major cities protesting the 'trans women aren't women' ruling?

📣UK Supreme Court ruling sparks nationwide protests.

The UK’s highest court has ruled that the legal definition of ‘woman’ under the Equality Act refers to biological sex - excluding trans women from that category, even if they hold a Gender Recognition Certificate.

The decision has drawn sharp criticism from trans rights groups and allies, while others have welcomed it as a win for sex-based protections.

Protests erupted across major cities over the weekend, with more to be expected.

Swipe through for what the ruling means- and why it’s become such a flashpoint.
