Dr. Victoria McCloud, the UK's only out trans judge, intends to challenge a recent UK Supreme Court ruling that defines 'women' and 'sex' under the Equality Act as referring only to biological sex. McCloud argues that the ruling disregards important human-rights considerations and fails to include the perspectives of transgender individuals. She asserts that this exclusion contributes to feelings of segregation within the trans community. Plans are underway to bring the case to the European Court of Human Rights to advocate for fundamental rights and representation for trans persons.
Trans people were wholly excluded from this court case. I applied to be heard, two of us did. We were refused.
[The court] heard no material going to the question of the proportionality and the impact on trans people. It didn't hear evidence from us.
