Dr. Victoria McCloud, the UK’s only out transgender judge, has urged international organizations to investigate the systemic oppression faced by trans individuals in the UK. During a speech at Pride In London's Human Rights Forum, she highlighted various forms of discrimination and violence against trans people, particularly following the UK Supreme Court's ruling that defined sex based on biological differences. McCloud, opposing this ruling, warned that the UK risks being categorized as engaging in cultural genocide against its transgender community due to the systemic denials of their existence and rights.
"We in the UK face bathroom bans, violence, abuse, deliberate social exclusion, strip searches of trans women by male police, and calls to photograph us in toilets and other spaces."
"The time is approaching for the UK to be 'red-flagged' as a country engaging in steps tending towards cultural genocide for the purposes of the definitions used by these well-respected early warning systems."
