@pinknews: Spain’s first out trans senator has revelled in defying the UK’s proposed trans toilet ban. Carla Antonelli took to Instagram on Monday (21 July) to mock the Equality and Human Rights Commission’s proposed ban which followed the UK Supreme Court ruling that the legal definition of a woman excluded trans women. Speaking in Spanish, Antonelli said she used the toilets at Gatwick airport that adhere to her affirmed gender, and proceeded to go back in to wash her hands “because I am very fond of breaking the rules”. With Lily Allen’s 2008 hit “F*** You” heard in the background, the actress-turned-politician extended her middle finger to Harry Potter author Rowling, who donated money to help gender-critical group For Women Scotland take the case to the Supreme Court. The caption to Antonelli’s video reads, “F***Rowling” alongside a magic wand emoji. #spain #jkrowling #transwomen #carlaantonelli #toilets #transrights
