Victoria McCloud, the UK’s first transgender judge, has launched a case against the UK in the European Court of Human Rights challenging the process that led to the Supreme Court’s ruling on ‘biological sex’. The retired judge argues that the Supreme Court undermined her Article 6 rights to a fair trial when it refused to hear representation from her and did not hear evidence from any other trans individuals or groups. “No representation or evidence had been included from us in the 8,500 group [the estimated UK population of people with GRCs who are diagnosed as transgender]. I was refused. The court gave no reasoning.” #transrights #transwoman #victoriamccloud #uksupremecourt #ukpolitics #lgbtqia
