Feminist Statue Defaced as Pro-Trans Protesters Rage over UK Supreme Court Ruling

Apr 20, 2025 | Politics, U.S.

In an “emergency demonstration”, thousands of radical gender ideologues took to the streets of the UK capital, calling for “trans liberation”. Participants carried placards reading “trans women are real women” and “biology is not binary”.

The protest, which culminated in Parliament Square, was supported by groups such as Pride in Labour, the Front for the Liberation of Intersex Non-binary and Transgender people (Flint), TransActual, and Trans Kids Deserve Better, the Daily Mail reported.

According to the paper, at least two statues outside of Parliament were vandalised during the demo, including one honouring suffragette and feminist icon Millicent Fawcett, upon which someone scrawled “fag rights”.

Meanwhile, the statue of former South African military leader Jan Christian Smuts was defaced with the message “trans rights are human rights”.

The leftist LGBTQ+ demonstrators were also mocked for apparently chanting “one struggle, one fight, Palestine, trans rights” given the opposition to homosexuality by Islamist groups like Gaza-ruling Hamas.

The protest came after the Supreme Court ruled this week that “the concept of sex is binary, a person is either a woman or a man.”

The ruling means that transgender individuals should not be allowed to use certain single sex spaces, such as female-only toilets or changing rooms. It will also likely prohibit biological males from competing in women’s sports leagues and competitions.

The ruling means trans women cannot use single-sex female toilets, changing rooms or compete in women’s sports, according to the head of Britain’s equalities watchdog.

Co-founder of Pride in Labour, Avery Greatorex said: “Not a single trans person or trans organisation was represented in that case, and so we weren’t given an opportunity to have a seat at the table which is obviously a very concerning thing for our community when decisions are being made without us.

“So the protest was organised to put pressure on the Government, on the public to act. To be able to secure the rights of transgender people and to secure those protections, we need legislative power and we need lobbying power.”

Others were critical of the protest, including Maya Forstater of teh Sex Matters charity, who told The Telegraph: “Yet again, the trans rights activists show us who they are. This is not a peaceful request for the right of a marginalised group to live quietly and with dignity – it’s a violent anti-women mob.

“They’ve defaced the statue of Millicent Fawcett, who represents women’s suffrage, to make their point that they will not respect women’s boundaries, even when the law requires it. Once again, they prove why women need male-free spaces and services – to keep men like this out.”
