US Media Coverage of the UK Ruling on the Equality Act

It’s surprisingly measured, but we're still not out of the woods

April 21, 2025

As most readers surely know by now, last Wednesday, the UK Supreme Court ruled that sex is real and defined biologically under the UK Equality Act.

Predictably, proponents of gender woo took to the streets on Saturday, all over the UK, to have temper tantrums. They chanted things like “Give us wombs and give us titties” (I am not kidding, and the 2.5-minute video at the link above is worth watching to the end).¹

A UK TERF named Serena Partrick wryly noted, with respect to Mr. “Give us wombs and give us titties,” that “Joe Biden called this ‘the civil rights movement of our time’" (which he did, starting in 2012, the same year a young man named Tim McBride, a close friend of the Bidens, decided that he’s a woman named Sarah and launched the beginning of an illustrious career in politics).

Apparently, protesters also planned to urinate in public places, and I understand they did so, including on a statue of UK suffrage campaigner Millicent Fawcett (which they also defaced with homophobic graffiti). I learned just this morning that they also defaced a statue of Nelson Mandela.

India Willoughby posted ahead of the protests:

American readers, if you don’t know who India Willoughby is, congratulations. He’s the one screeching “I am a real woman!” in Mr. Menno’s classic “It’s Ma’am! (The Misgender Funk)” (hint: Willoughby is not a real woman). He once reported J.K. Rowling to the police for alleged “misgendering.”

A Scottish feminist named Bryndís Blackadder filmed a speech given by a man named Sophie Molly in Dundee. Molly recently threatened to “scream rape at” police officers who try to remove him from women’s bathrooms. In his speech on Saturday, he said “TERFs are cunts.” Blackadder bravely went to the event alone to film it.

Across the land, protesters held signs like these:

I assume “JK” refers to J.K. Rowling.

They like talking about urine a lot, and literally “pissin” on women.

And I personally know one radical feminist (Dr. Julia Long) who was physically assaulted at one of these protests and filed a police report.

These people are really not hiding how much they hate women.

If you’re curious to read a take on what the ruling means for Australian women, here is one from Australian feminist Edie Wyatt. This is the (unfortunate) gist:

The grim situation women now face in Australia, is that women and girls are defined essentially as femininity. We are not bodies of a particular sex, we are skirts, and hair extensions, and enamel nails, and the victim side of “gender-based violence”. The sex on your Australian passport is nothing more, to our government, than a thing that you say about yourself.

I was curious to know whether the US media was reporting on the ruling, and if so, how. So I had a review of some reports and posted about what I learned on X. This post will dive a bit deeper into that analysis. Read on to learn more.
