'It's a men's rights movement!' Transgender protests blasted by Sharron Davies following Supreme Court ruling: 'Women are being silenced'

Trans rights groups, trade unions and community organisations came together for an "emergency demonstration" in Parliament Square - with statue of suffragette Millicent Fawcett also defaced with graffiti.

Discussing the demonstrations on GB News, Davies claimed that women are "being silenced" by such protests, despite the Supreme Court ruling.

Davies explained: "The Supreme Court ruling meant was clarification of the Equality Act, it wasn't anything else. It wasn't changing anything, it was just actually interpreting it the way that it was supposed to be interpreted. And in fact, it's been misrepresented for an extremely long time.

"I've been trying to get equality in the world of sport, based on science and peer reviewed studies and the history of the Olympics, where every single race shows us that males and females perform differently. And the abuse that I've had and the death threats to my children, the calls to every single job and charity that I work with, it's just extraordinary."

Hitting out at the protests, Davies fumed: "This is a men's rights movement at the moment, and women are just being silenced. They're being called every name under the sun to try and shut them up."

Criticising trans rights organisations, including Stonewall, Davies claimed they have been "deliberately misinterpreting" the legislation - in favour of trans people.

LATEST DEVELOPMENTS:

• Police launch urgent probe after 7 historic statues 'unacceptably' vandalised during trans protests
• Trans activists launch 'emergency demo' as thousands gather to protest Supreme Court 'woman' ruling
• Transgender protesters branded 'ridiculous' for 'dangerous' demonstration against Supreme Court

Davies stated: "I've been working with sports organisations that have been told that this has been deliberately misrepresented, but Stonewall in particular have been doing it, and they have felt frightened to do anything other than to cave in to the trans activists.

"So what they've done is they've fudged it and compromised by protecting the elite one per cent of women's sport, but not 99 per cent - so not the pathways, not the juniors, not the recreational - so they'v basically gone, you one per cent, you're good enough and worthy enough, we'll give you fair sport.

"But you 99 per cent, you're not worthy, we're not going to give you fair sport, we're just going to let you have unfair competition."

When asked by host Ben Leo if she believes there will be changes in sport following the court's ruling, Davies expressed optimism that now women are "on the right side of the law", things "should change" in sport and other industries.

She told GB News: "It should do because now there's clarity that says that we are on the right side of the law, and so therefore we can start bringing legal challenges.

"Before the elections, we'd been speaking quite a lot with Kemi Badenoch about clarifying the Equality Act with the Conservatives, using the word biological, because when it was written in 2010, everybody knew that sex meant biological sex. We didn't think we'd have to add that word, but then that word was going to need to be added.

"Then the election was called and it never got done, so that's really what the Supreme Court has done. They've clarified that that situation, so now I'm hoping that every young girl and every woman is going to have their sport protected at every single level, every single ability, every single age, just as they should have done all along, really."

The Supreme Court's ruling means trans women with a Gender Recognition Certificate can be excluded from single-sex spaces if deemed "proportionate".

The Government said the unanimous decision by five judges brought "clarity and confidence" for women and service providers.
