In response to a controversial Supreme Court ruling defining 'woman' to exclude trans women, musicians including Charli XCX and Olly Alexander have signed an open letter pledging solidarity with the trans community. The ruling has sparked protests across the UK, with activists expressing concerns about its implications. Dr. Victoria McCloud intends to challenge the decision at the European Court of Human Rights. The music industry leaders emphasize the importance of inclusivity and call for protective measures against discrimination, asserting that trans voices are an integral part of the creative landscape.
The UK music industry is a vibrant, diverse landscape that thrives on creativity and inclusivity. We have long celebrated a multitude of voices and identities.
The ruling will be incredibly worrying for the trans community, as it fails to consider how it affects trans people.
We stand with the many voices who have condemned both the ruling and the EHRC guidance, highlighting the negative consequences that will arise from this decision.
Thousands of protesters have attended rallies against the ruling, expressing solidarity with the trans, non-binary, and intersex communities.
