The recent Supreme Court ruling on biological sex in the UK has sparked concern from the country’s only openly transgender judge, Dr Victoria McCloud. Dr. McCloud believes that the ruling, which defines a woman by biological sex under equalities law, is putting lives at risk and fears that someone may end up getting killed as a result. She is planning to challenge this ruling by taking the government to the European Court of Human Rights.
In response to the Supreme Court’s ruling, the Equality and Human Rights Commission issued new interim guidance on access to public facilities like toilets and changing rooms. Maya Forstater, from the campaign group Sex Matters, dismissed Dr. McCloud’s concerns as “alarmism.” During an interview on the BBC’s Newscast, Dr. McCloud expressed her worries about having to use men’s restrooms in pubs due to the new policy, highlighting the potential dangers of such situations.
Dr. McCloud also voiced her agreement with the gender critical movement’s argument regarding the risks and intimidation that can arise from having shared spaces designated for a specific gender. She emphasized the dangers she faces as a transgender woman, especially in environments where men dominate and disrupt the sense of security and privacy. Despite criticism from groups like Sex Matters, Dr. McCloud is determined to challenge the Supreme Court ruling for not adequately considering the perspective of trans individuals before making its decision.
Following the Supreme Court judgment, Equalities Minister Bridget Phillipson reiterated the importance of accessing provisions and services based on biological sex. The ruling emphasized the clarity that a woman is defined as an adult female, thus guiding future policies and guidelines. While Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer welcomed the ruling as providing much-needed clarity, Dr. McCloud remains committed to advocating for the rights and safety of transgender individuals in the UK, even as she resides in Ireland
