Name changed for this. I have just seen a post on LinkedIn from Victoria McCloud referring to an interview in the telegraph. I can’t believe this claim/ quote from the former judge:
‘Speaking to The Telegraph after her Financial interview, she said: “As an anatomical, endocrinological and legal woman whose birth registration is female, I am as at risk of rape and assault as any woman and efforts to place me in isolation in hospital or force me to use male spaces are no more than blind prejudice.”’
I find it exceptionally offensive that a trans woman would claim such a thing - as if rapists are checking birth certificates/ GRCs! The mind boggles that anyone would think this is an appropriate thing to say/ claim.
The full article is here, though paywalled.
