""[In the past few months] we've seen a declaration of genocidal intent made by the Lemkin Institute in relation to the United Kingdom to warn people about what's going on. We've seen concerns from the United Nations and from the Council of Europe," she told The Independent."

""When I come over, I don't see it as a safe place to go," she said. "Lovely cis friends are great at helping me to stay out of risky situations where I might be confronted or even potentially assaulted, because, of course, my face is quite well known.

Victoria McCloud, the UK's first out trans High Court judge, reports a rising climate of fear and increased danger for transgender people compared with the 1990s. She identifies international concern, including a Lemkin Institute declaration and scrutiny from the United Nations and Council of Europe. The FWS v Scottish Ministers Supreme Court ruling defined the Equality Act 2010 sex definition as referring to biological sex, which McCloud says has worsened conditions. McCloud retired in 2024 amid growing hostility, moved to Ireland, and now avoids London, fearing confrontation and targeted attacks from extreme elements of the gender-critical movement.
