Nicola Coughlan SLAMS Supreme Court Decision! You Won’t Believe What She Said!

by

Nicola Coughlan, a notable actress from Netflix’s “Bridgerton” and a judge, openly supports the transgender community. She’s been vocal about transgender rights in recent times, as a contentious Supreme Court decision in the UK has led to widespread protests, as it declared that trans women are not recognized as women.

Recently, Coughlan delivered a speech following her receipt of the Commitment Prize from French media company Konbini at Canneseries, an international television festival. The prize honors individuals who are not just excelling in television, but also making significant impacts beyond it. Indeed, Coughlan is one such person. She engages extensively in activism, advocating for causes like abortion rights and the rights of Palestinians. However, her work as a trans activist may be what she’s most recognized for at present, alongside her acting career.

Recently, Coughlan demonstrated her disagreement with the Supreme Court decision by organizing a fundraiser for the charity Not A Phase, which supports transgender individuals. She discussed this, as well as activism overall, at Canneseries. In her words, “I believe that the rights of the LGBTQ+ community have been slowly eroded over the past few years, and this decision is a clear attempt to take away rights from people“. She further clarified, via an interview, that the ruling prevents transgender women from using the women’s restroom. “It’s only cis men who have ever made me feel afraid. I have never felt threatened by a trans woman in my entire life.

She expressed her gratitude towards anyone in the audience who had contributed to Not A Phase, stating that these contributions enable them to continue assisting others. She further emphasized that such support is crucial because it’s not fashionable or popular to support transgender individuals currently.

Coughlan continued, “Attending Pride events, cheering for RuPaul’s Drag Race, and watching the show are enjoyable experiences, but will you stand by people when things get awkward or uncomfortable? That’s the true test.” Coughlan, who served as a judge on RuPaul’s Drag Race UK, expressed her admiration for the series. “It was a source of immense pleasure for me, so vibrant and unique,” she shared. “It was incredibly inspiring. I was grappling with self-doubt at the time, but watching these queens exude such strength made me realize that if I could absorb some of that confidence… As an actor, it’s crucial to possess that level of self-assurance.

Nicola Coughlan Isn’t The Only Person Who’s Spoken About The Supreme Court Ruling

Coughlan finds himself among esteemed peers in the realm of trans advocacy, given that he joins the ranks of a well-known television personality. This individual has vocalized his disapproval, particularly towards anti-trans activist and famous author JK Rowling. He referred to her actions in supporting anti-trans initiatives as “shameful actions of a despicable person.

During her advocacy for transgender rights, Coughlan has mentioned “Harry Potter” as well. After the verdict was passed, she penned down, “I’d rather not have anything to do with your new Harry Potter characters at a distance of ten feet.
