Victoria McCloud, the UK’s first transgender judge, is challenging the UK in the European Court of Human Rights regarding the Supreme Court's ruling on biological sex. She argues that the Supreme Court violated her Article 6 rights to a fair trial by not allowing representation from her or other trans individuals. The Supreme Court ruled that the Equality Act 2010 does not recognize transgender women with gender recognition certificates. McCloud seeks a rehearing, supported by legal groups, while gender-critical campaign group For Women Scotland is also suing the Scottish government over policies affecting trans rights.
