UK’s first transgender judge seeks rehearing of supreme court case on biological sex
Retired UK judge Victoria McCloud, the country's first transgender judge, has launched a case against the UK in the European Court of Human Rights. McCloud is challenging the process that led to the Supreme Court's ruling on biological sex, arguing that the court undermined her right to a fair trial by refusing to hear her evidence or consider representation from other trans individuals or groups. McCloud, who now works as a litigation strategist at W-Legal, is seeking a rehearing of the case. She claims the Supreme Court's decision violated her Article 6 rights, which guarantee the right to a fair trial. The case highlights the ongoing debate around transgender rights and the legal recognition of gender identity in the UK.
