Britain's first transgender judge, Victoria McCloud, is escalating her legal battle to the European Court of Human Rights in response to a recent UK Supreme Court decision that defined 'woman' and 'sex' strictly in biological terms. This ruling has raised concerns about access rights for transgender individuals to facilities aligning with their gender identity. McCloud argues that her contributions and experiences as a transgender individual were not adequately addressed during the Supreme Court proceedings, highlighting broader implications of the ruling on legal protections for transgender persons and the confusion it has caused within businesses and public services.
The basis is that the supreme court refused to hear me, or my evidence, to provide them with information about the impact on those trans people affected by the judgment and failed to give any reasons.
The impacts of all of this have not been dealt with. The supreme court judgment, and subsequent guidance from the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC), has sent shock waves through the UK's transgender community.
