Patsy Stevenson re-allocated surplus funds from her legal case to The Good Law Project to support trans rights. The UK Supreme Court's ruling on the definition of "woman" has led to potential dangers for transgender individuals and cisgender women. The ruling prompted policy changes that allow male officers to strip search transgender women, raising concerns among activists. Additionally, the decision has led to increased scrutiny over restroom access for transgender and gender-non-conforming individuals, along with harassment reports from non-conforming cisgender women.
The recent UK Supreme Court ruling on the legal definition of "woman" has had dangerous consequences for transgender individuals, gender-non-conforming people and cisgender women.
Legal experts and activists have pointed out that the degrading policy could be exploited, with officers potentially justifying searches of cisgender women by claiming they "believed" the individual was trans.
Transgender and gender-non-conforming individuals report being denied entry to facilities matching their gender identity, forcing them to out themselves, face potential violence or simply go without basic amenities.
Cisgender women who do not conform to narrow societal views of femininity say they, too, have faced harassment or questioning.
