Trans ex-judge says gender ruling risks lives

  • Following the ruling, the national human rights body released temporary guidelines regarding the use of public toilets and changing areas.
  • A judge who is openly transgender, and unique in this regard within the UK judiciary, criticizes the decision for excluding transgender perspectives and infringing on human rights, arguing it results in unsafe circumstances.
