The UK’s only out transgender judge has called for independent genocide prevention groups to investigate the “systemic oppression” of trans people.
Retired high court judge Dr Victoria McCloud asked international not-for-profit organisations Genocide Watch and The Lemkin Institute to review attacks on trans rights by the UK government and public bodies.
The call comes after the UK Supreme Court decided that the 2010 Equality Act’s definition of sex related to “biological sex.” The verdict was welcomed by prime minister Keir Starmer.
The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) published non-statutory interim guidance in the wake of the ruling, which called for the exclusion of trans people from facilities corresponding to their gender identity and, in some cases, their birth sex.
Cultural genocide, also known as ethnocide or culturcide, refers to the systemic destruction of a culture which does not necessarily result in the destruction of its people. It was first coined by Polish lawyer Raphael Lemkin, in 1944.
The Lemkin Institute has previously highlighted the “genocidal nature” of gender-critical beliefs, claiming that the ideology “simultaneously denies that transgender identity is real and seeks to eradicate it completely from society”.
