The signs that shame the trans movement: Placards at London march called for TERFs to be hanged and people against them to be stabbed in the head

A number of trans activists were seen holding violent and threatening signs at yesterdays protest against the Supreme Court ruling on the definition of a woman. 

The landmark hearing on Wednesday ruled that the definition of a woman is based on biological sex, meaning transgender women are no longer considered women in the eyes of the law.

This weeks ruling means trans women with a gender recognition certificate (GRC) could potentially be excluded from single-sex spaces if proportionate.

While most held up signs fighting for trans rights, some activists were seen threatening violence with disturbing images of stabbed and hanged TERFs. 

One sign at the protest in Londons Parliament Square showed an illustration of hangman alongside the slogan The only good TERF is a [hanged] TERF. 

Meanwhile, another sign showed an image of a man with a bloodied knife stuck in his eye, alongside the caption: Are you a... transphobe? Why not try a... D.I.Y. LOBOTOMY. 

A third graphic sign read: Trans women are women. Trans men are men. If you dont like that, go s*** somewhere else. Examples on the sign of where to do that included on a pile of Harry Potter books or on the head of another TERF.

The ruling has caused much controversy among various groups, with transgender activists left furious.

Thousands of outraged campaigners took to the streets of London yesterday to protest - waving flags and chanting throughout the afternoon.

Protestors targeted a number of statues in the capital. Notably, a statue of the suffragette Millicent Fawcett was defaced with a banner reading F** rights.

The Metropolitan Police said they were investigating the incidents as criminal damage after the statues were daubed with graffiti. MailOnline has contacted the force for an update. 

Activists demanded trans liberation and trans rights now, with some waving flags and holding banners.

At least two statues in Parliament Square were vandalized during the rally, with trans rights are human rights spray-painted on the pedestal bearing a memorial to South African military leader Jan Christian Smuts.

Among the groups supporting the London protest are Trans Kids Deserve Better, Pride in Labour, the Front for the Liberation of Intersex Non-binary and Transgender people (Flint) and TransActual.
