Former judge Victoria McCloud, who retired last year, is applying to bring an Art 6 right to a fair trial infringement case against the UK before the European Court of Human Rights.
McCloud, who is trans, sought permission to intervene in the recent Supreme Court case brought by For Women Scotland on the meaning of ‘woman’ and ‘sex’ within the context of the Equality Act 2010, but was refused. She contends the court failed to properly consider human rights arguments.
Speaking to the BBC, she said the decision leaves her ‘two sexes at once, which is a nonsense’.
