Nicola Coughlan has helped raise more than £100K for the trans and gender non-conforming charity Not A Phase.
Last week, the Bridgerton star reacted to the Supreme Court ruling in the UK that the definition of a woman now only covers those assigned female at birth, describing the decision as "stomach-churning".
She told her Instagram followers: "Like many people I'm completely horrified by the Supreme Court's ruling about trans people.
"To see an already-marginalised community being further attacked, and attacked in law, is really stomach-churning and disgusting – and to see people celebrate it is more stomach-churning and disgusting.
"So, I want to start a fundraiser for Not A Phase, who are an incredible trans charity in the UK, and I will match any donation up to £10,000."
Within a few days, Nicola and her Instagram followers had helped raise £100K for Not A Phase, which is described on its website as a "trans-led, nationwide charity committed to uplifting and improving the lives of trans+ adults, through awareness campaigning, social projects and funding trans+ lead initiatives", dedicated to "creating a thriving, supportive space for the trans+ and gender non-conforming community".
