Keeping Sex Private (Bonus)

with Timothy Pitt-Payne KC

This is a teaser of a bonus episode for paid subscribers. If you’d like to listen to the full episode, please consider subscribing.

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 a bonus episode that discusses the privacy issues that arose in the case of Adams v Edinburgh Rape Crisis Centre where a member of staff who identified as non-binary claimed a right to keep facts about their biological sex private and that Roz Adams had engaged in misconduct when she emailed her manager asking how to respond to a request from a rape victim to know whether her counsellor was female.

Writing and podcasting about law for a public audience. Quite a bit about discrimination law, sex, and gender identity. Sometimes about other areas of law.
