Plans of a protest first sparked when Prime Minister Rishi Sunak revealed his plans to edit the transgender rights in the Equality 2010 Act.
He intends to make it clear that means sex means biological sex rather than gender.
This means a biological male, who identifies as a woman, will have to go by their biological sex.
