UK’s first transgender judge seeks rehearing of supreme court case on biological sex

Exclusive: Victoria McCloud says court undermined her rights to a fair trial when it refused to hear her evidence

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 Victoria McCloud, who is now a litigation strategist at W-Legal, is seeking a rehearing of the case, arguing 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.
