“I’m very disappointed that Ms Grover has decided to appeal the judge’s ruling that she discriminated against me because I’m a trans woman. Post-gender transition should be the most joyous years of my life. I had my new life ahead of me, and now I am being dragged back to court for who knows how long. All because of a very small group of people who are committed to making the lives of people they’ve never met very difficult.
“Trans and gender diverse people exist. Our legal system recognises this. Society at large recognises this. I shouldn’t have to spend years of my life in court to either prove I exist or to have my existing legal rights upheld.
“Marginalised communities have always had to fight to be treated with respect and dignity, and I will continue on, strengthened by the support of the trans and gender diverse community, the feminist movement and friends and allies across the community, until trans people can live our lives true to who we are.”
