Drag Queens Melt Down, Vow to ‘Fight Back’ After UK Supreme Court Rules Men Are Not Women
by
Stars of BBC’s “RuPaul’s Drag Race UK” have vowed to “fight back” in the War on Women following a recent landmark ruling from the United Kingdom’s Supreme Court.
As Slay News reported, the high court ruled last week that males claiming to be transgender are not considered to be women under the nation’s laws.
In a unanimous landmark ruling, all five justices ruled that “woman” and “sex” in the 2010 Equality Act refer to biological sex, not “gender identity.”
Following the decision, men who claim to be “transgender women” can no longer demand to be treated as female.
The ruling has been marked as a huge victory in the fight to protect women’s rights and keep men out of female-only spaces.
“Harry Potter” author JK Rowling, a women’s rights advocate who lives in Scotland, was among those celebrating the ruling on Wednesday.
Rowling said the ruling would protect “the rights of women and girls across the UK.”
It took three extraordinary, tenacious Scottish women with an army behind them to get this case heard by the Supreme Court and, in winning, they’ve protected the rights of women and girls across the UK. @ForWomenScot, I’m so proud to know you 🏴💜🏴💚🏴🤍🏴 https://t.co/JEvcScVVGS

However, the ruling has outraged men who make a living out of pretending to be “women.”
“The fight back starts today,” Divina De Campo, a “Drag Race” season one runner-up, warned in a post on X last Wednesday.
“We will not go back into the shadows to make you comfortable. F— all the way off,” he vowed.
LGBTQ+ news outlet PinkNews reported on season two finalist Tayce’s rage expressed through Instagram.
In social media posts, he called the UK Supreme Court a “POS [piece of s—]” while voicing solidarity with “trans brothers and sisters.”
