Trans judge taking UK to European Court Of Human Rights speaks out during Trans+ History Week

TL;DR: Queer Media Exclusive: In a video address released for Trans+ History Week shared exclusively with QueerAF, the Trans+ judge who is set to make history with plans to challenge the UK's Supreme Court ruling on the legal definition of a woman in the Equality Act 2010 at the European Court of Human Rights sets out the fight ahead, amid what she calls an "epidemic" of misogynistic violence in the UK. The UK's only ever out transgender judge is taking the UK government to the European Court of Human Rights over the recent Supreme Court ruling that excluded trans women from the definition of a woman in the Equality Act 2010. In a queer media exclusive, Dr Victoria McCloud, former High Court judge, told QueerAF in an address for Trans+ History Week that she is taking the UK government to the European Court of Human Rights. In a confident tone, she says the court "is about ensuring that countries don’t abuse the reasonable freedoms of their citizens", - adding that this is a value the UK helped to shape as the court was set up in the wake of the Second World War.  "20 years ago, the UK passed the Gender Recognition Act 2004 because the UK was infringing the human rights of people who had undergone or were undergoing what we might have called at the time “a sex change”, which we now call gender reassignment. It [the European Court of Human Rights] ruled against the UK because it did not legally recognise the right to have a change of sex recognised." McCloud's assessment of the Supreme Court ruling is that it undermines this previous ruling - and that is the basis for taking the UK back to the European Court of Human Rights.
