Recent legal actions against trans rights reveal a troubling trend across the US and Europe. Hungary's Parliament has approved a ban on public LGBTQ events, while in the UK, the highest court defined womanhood based on biological sex, affecting trans women's rights. Although the law promises protection against discrimination, trans activists express concern over the detrimental impact of these rulings. The surge in these legal challenges signifies a broader strategy among right-wing factions to restrict trans people's rights, highlighting the ongoing struggle for recognition and equality in society.
"The political and legal moves in the United States, Britain and Hungary underscore the power of an issue that animates right-wing movements."
"Trans communities are devastated by today's ruling, said Helen Belcher, the chair of TransActual, a British group that campaigns on behalf of trans people."
