Name/TitlePlacard: Crips Against Transphobia!
About this objectSmall single sided placard with black cable ties in top corners, hand drawn on cardboard, featuring the slogan 'CRIPS AGAINST TRANSPHOBIA! Trans Rights = Human Rights' and decorated with the trans flag and a heart.
The placard was gifted to GWL by Cabaret Against the Hate Speech: "We held our Solidarity Salon on April 19th in Glasgow in response to the recent Supreme Court ruling. We had over 800 people with only two days notice, which was phenomenal. After we collected as many of the signs as we could as well as the BSL transcript of most of the speeches and songs. We would love to donate these to your archives as we think it really shows Glasgow's voice in response to the ruling."

"On April 16, 2025, the United Kingdom's Supreme Court issued a unanimous ruling interpreting the terms "woman" and "sex" under the Equality Act 2010 to refer strictly to biological sex assigned at birth. In response to this decision, we’ve gathered reflections from leading scholars in our Academic Affiliates network to provide insight into the wider consequences of the Court’s ruling. Drawing on expertise in law, human rights, and political science, these scholars help us understand the political, social, and legal stakes—both in the UK and globally" [continues].
