'The UK’s first transgender judge has launched a case against the UK in the European court of human rights challenging the process that led to the supreme court’s ruling on biological sex.
The retired judge Victoria McCloud, who is now a litigation strategist at W-Legal, is seeking a rehearing of the case, arguing that the supreme court undermined her article 6 rights to a fair trial when it refused to hear representation from her and did not hear evidence from any other trans individuals or groups.'

The Amnesty representative was, I believe, non-binary?

I saw this - love it. No info on there at all about the process and why he thinks it’s wrong, just ‘they didn’t listen to meeeeee.’
Bring it on I say, any rebuttal will have a clear explanation that we can all circulate.

Is that an unusual use of "trial"? Who was being tried? How was their non-trial unfair?

No representation or evidence had been included from us in the 8,500 group [the estimated UK population of people with GRCs who are diagnosed as transsexual]. I was refused. The court gave no reasoning.

I thought the supreme court had given their reasons for refusing mccloud (and whittle). No other trans groups applied to intervene

Well as he was living in a foreign country at the time he applied to intervene and had no standing to intervene hes on a hiding to nothing with this performative bs. Let him waste his time if he wants
