The process
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.
Ok so suppose a group of people declare themselves judges, and the supreme court rules that trans judges are not judges. Would the court be expected to include trans judges before it can rule that trans judges are not judges?
In other words is this a general rule? People who declare themselves Xs have to be included in any court case that rules on whether self-declaration is magic or not?
It seems like an infinite regress. “You can’t rule that we are not included in this category because you didn’t include us – the frauds – in the decision-making.”
It’s kinda what the Woke always do. Persuasive (re)definitions everywhere. It’s like how St. Anselm’s ontological argument essentially defines God into existence. They just define things into existence and themselves into positions of uncontestable authority.
Maybe they picked up the trick from theocrats, now that I think about it.
What’s so special about McCloud to merit inclooosion in said case? That fact seems to be lost in the story. Courts aren’t going to waste time letting anyone and everyone participate if they’re not adding anything pertinent to the proceedings.
Also, the claim that McCloud is somehow now “both sexes” is nonsense. Sex is immutable and the legal fiction of a GRC doesn’t change that. But silly special pleading is the TRA way.
