Coughlan is fighting for transit rights: Against the new judgment in Great Britain!
London, Vereinigtes Königreich - in Cannes, Irish actress Nicola Coughlan, known from the successful series "Bridgerton", has advocated the rights of transpersonen. The background to this message was a controversial judgment of the United Kingdom's Supreme Court, which states that the biological gender is crucial when asked equality. This judgment does not allow trans women to access women's avoidance, which has met with massive criticism in the community. Coughlan described the fears of trans-opponents who fear that trans women in women's toilets could attack men as "hypothetical" and "ridiculous". In her own life she never felt threatened by a trans woman, but only from cisgend men.
Coughlan criticized that there is a trend to celebrate people when others are withdrawn their rights. The legal foundations of the judgment, which imply a clear distinction between men and women, have caused tensions in the society. According to the judgment, the gender in the 2010 Equal Opportunities Act is binary, which means that a person is recognized either as a man or as a woman. This decision was perceived as a step back by supporters of trans-rights. In particular, the fact that many transpersonen do not have a compensation for gender compliance (Gender Recognition Certificate - GRC) makes the legal situation considerable.
reaction of the community and prominent
In view of the developments, Coughlan has called on the public to support the charity organization "Not a Phase", which is committed to the concerns of transpersonen. It expressed concern that the initiative may have to close because the support for trans people is "no longer Trendy". Their message was reinforced by the solidarity of other prominent, including Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Pedro Pascal, which have also made a clear position for the rights of transpersonen.The legal context on this topic is complex. The Supreme Court has decided that the concept of gender, protected categories such as women and men, comprises and with regard to anti -discrimination, a clear legal differentiation is necessary. The current regulation excludes men from protective measures for women. Activists in Great Britain see this decision a threat to transit rights. The dispute also has far -reaching political consequences, which the former Scottish Prime Minister Nicola Sturgeon recently plunged into a crisis.
social challenges for transpersonen
In parallel to the legal challenges, there is also a clear need in Germany for a self -determination law for transpersons. This would result in abolishing psychological forced assessments and would make a significant contribution to ending discrimination and promoting social acceptance. State measures are necessary to counter the continued prejudices and the instrumentalization of the topic through conservative forces. The protection of LGBTI people, in particular trans women and non-binary persons, remains a social challenge that requires education and sensitization in different areas of life in order to combat discrimination and violence against these people.With the clear criticism of celebrities like Nicola Coughlan, the focus is again on the necessary steps to secure and strengthen the rights of transpersonen. The constructive dialogue about these topics is essential to overcome discrimination and to promote an inclusive society.
