Emma Thompson expressed her emotional response to the script, stating, "I'm weeping like a baby, it's so moving and powerful and funny. It's a great story and script with wonderful characters. I loved it and it moved me deeply. It's fascinating and profoundly meaningful and essential."
The Bellinger vs. Bellinger case, which began in 2000, revolved around Elizabeth's fight to have her union legally recognized, as she campaigned against the discrimination she faced due to her transgender identity.
Elizabeth Bellinger argued that the failure to recognize her legal gender and marriage was discriminatory and constituted a violation of her human rights under the European Convention on Human Rights.
After an initial defeat in the High Court, Bellinger took her case to the House of Lords, where the ruling concluded that her marriage wouldn't be recognized because she was classified as male at birth.
