Twisting the night away

Another man takes steps to cancel women’s rights.

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.

Why should people who are wrong about what sex they are be singled out for “inclusion” on a supreme court ruling?

The move comes as For Women Scotland, the gender-critical campaign group that brought the supreme court case, announced it was suing the Scottish government, accusing it of refusing to abide by April’s judgment, in particular around schools and prison policy.

The UK supreme court ruled in April that the legal definition of a woman in the Equality Act 2010 did not include transgender women who hold gender recognition certificates (GRCs). Subsequent guidance from the equality watchdog amounted to a blanket ban on trans people using toilets and other services of the gender they identify as.

As it has to. It’s either let men use women’s toilets and other services, or don’t. The first option is unfair to women. Women are half. Men who claim to be women are a handful.

McCloud, who is supported by Trans Legal Clinic and W-Legal, said the application was brought under articles 6, 8 and 14 of the European convention on human rights, “essentially the rights to respect for who I am, my family, my human existence, my right to a fair trial in matters determining my own freedoms and obligations without discrimination.”

But that’s a lie. He’s talking about a “right” to respect for who he IS NOT. That’s not a thing. His human existence is one thing and his pretense of being a woman is quite another.
