The UK Supreme Court's ruling that the legal definition of 'woman' only includes biological women has left many, including Netflix star Bel Priestley, feeling terrified. Priestley voiced her concerns over the implications for trans rights, particularly in light of rising hate crimes against trans individuals. The ruling has sparked widespread protests advocating for trans rights, with experts warning of its potential repercussions on inclusion policies and single-sex spaces. Participants express increasing fears for their safety in public spaces due to the rising anti-trans sentiment and violence.
