A specialist barrister has said that the government’s draft trans guidance for schools infringes on human rights and discrimination laws.
Robin White, who specialises in discrimination and employment law, was the first barrister to transition from male to female while practicing at the employment and discrimination bar in 2011.
She is described as the “go to” lawyer for gender reassignment discrimination by Chambers and Partners.
The guidance, published yesterday (19 December) by the Department for Education, outlines “that there is no general duty to allow a child to socially transition”.
