Police investigate after statues daubed with graffiti during trans rights rally

A protest occurred in London on April 19, 2025, against a UK Supreme Court ruling stating that trans women are not biological women, attended by several thousand people.
During the protest, several statues were vandalized, including one honoring Millicent Fawcett, leading to condemnation from Home Secretary Yvette Cooper, who initiated a police investigation.
Participants in the protest carried signs declaring 'trans women are real women' and 'biology is not binary,' expressing opposition to the Supreme Court's ruling on gender identity.
Avery Greatorex, co-founder of Pride in Labour, emphasized concerns over the representation of transgender people in legal discussions, stating that trans organizations were not represented in the case.
