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.”
“Nothing or no one can erase YOU,” one post read in part.
Neither men appeared concerned with women’s rights, however.
The UK court of five judges gave the unanimous ruling last Wednesday.
The ruling means that, under the UK Equality Act, males who claim to be women are now prohibited from entering spaces reserved solely for females.
These spaces include bathrooms, locker rooms, homeless shelters, swimming areas, and medical or counseling services.
The ruling means that even a transgenders who claim to have defeated science to overcome the impossible task of changing their gender to female can lawfully be excluded from such specific single-sex spaces.
However, Justice Patrick Hodge said the court’s ruling “does not remove protection from trans people,” who are “protected from discrimination on the ground of gender reassignment.”
Trans activists like “Drag Race: UK vs. the World” winner Tia Kofi also reacted to the court’s decision, PinkNews reported.
Many shared videos on social media to complain about the ruling.
“We, now more than ever, must be allies to the trans community,” Kofi declared in one posting.
“It cannot just be trans people who are expected to raise their voices to fight for their own existence.”
While the decision was met with resistance from transgender activists, women’s rights activists celebrated the outcome.
For Women Scotland co-director Susan Smith, whose organization brought the case, said in a statement:
“Everyone knows what sex is, and you can’t change it.
“It’s common sense, basic common sense, and the fact that we have been down a rabbit hole where people have tried to deny science and to deny reality, and hopefully this will now see us back to, back to reality.”
