Keeping Sex Private (Part 2)

One of the central issues that has arisen in terms of the relationship between trans rights and women’s rights is whether trans people have a legal entitlement to keep information about their biological sex at birth private.In this episode, I’m joined by Tim Pitt-Payne KC, one of the UK’s leading privacy and information law barristers to discuss the law in this area. This is the second of three episodes on this topic. This episode applies the general legal principles discussed in Part 1 to the case of Goodwin v United Kingdom. It then explores whether there is a legal right for trans people to keep their biological sex or information around their gender history private and, if so, in what contexts.There is a bonus episode for paid subscribers where Tim and I speak about Adams v Edinburgh Rape Crisis Centre and the privacy claims that arose there.
