Following the UK Supreme Court's ruling that the legal definition of a woman does not include transgender women, actress Nicola Coughlan raised over £60,000 for the charity Not A Phase. This ruling, which has drawn criticism from LGBTQ+ advocates, raised concerns about its implications for transgender and non-binary individuals regarding access to essential services. Coughlan initiated a fundraiser targeting £10,000, but that was quickly exceeded, prompting her to increase the target to £70,000 as support poured in.
"Like many people, I'm completely horrified by the Supreme Court's ruling about trans people and to see an already marginalised community being further attacked is really stomach-churning and disgusting."
"Coughlan launched a fundraising campaign for the charity Not A Phase, and after just 24 hours, the amount raised currently stands at a huge £63,000 with a new £70,000 aim."
