The UK's only ever judge to publicly say they are transgender is planning to take the government to the European Court of Human Rights over the Supreme Court's ground-breaking ruling on biological sex.
Dr Victoria McCloud, who stepped down from court last year, said the judgement and equality watchdog's new guidance violated her human rights and she felt "contained and segregated".
So, no longer 'Britain's transgender judge' then?
"[This judgement] has left me two sexes at once, which is a nonsense and ironic, because the Supreme Court said that sex was binary," said Dr McCloud. "I am a woman for all purposes in law, but [now under this judgement] I'm a man for the Equality Act 2010. So I have to probably guess on any given occasion which sex I am."
Shouldn't be difficult, you've got a mirror, I presume?
Dr McCloud believes dangerous predators could exploit this confusion to further target women.
But dangerous predators have already been using these sorts of situations to do this, and we never heard a peep out of you then, did we? Not even over the most egregious cases of men infiltrating women's spaces.
"This is going to make matters much, much more dangerous," she said. "I am now expected to use male spaces.
Why not? You are, after all, male. The Supreme Court has declared you to be male. Surely you aren't suggesting the highest court in the land should be disobeyed, are you?
"I have female anatomy."
No, you don’t. You have a plastic surgeon’s approximation of female organs. Claiming otherwise is like Douglas Bader claiming he has two legs.
It isn't safe for women to use the men's loos. It is as simple as that."
Why not? You’ve been pushing for men like you to be in the women's ones, haven’t you?
