Sam Smith responds to court ruling on who counts as a woman
Sam Smith has delivered a powerful message following the UK Supreme Court's ruling that only biological women — not trans women — meet the legal definition of a woman.
They took to Instagram to post all in caps:
TRANS PEOPLE EXIST
A WORLD WITHOUT TRANS PEOPLE HAS NEVER EXISTED AND NEVER WILL
TRANS RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS
I AM HEARTBROKEN FOR OUR COMMUNITY
BUT WE CANNOT AND WILL NOT BE ERASED
WE
ARE
REAL
The 'Trans women are women' argument shows no sign of coming to a peaceful conclusion.
