Ah the tragedy:

Britain’s only transgender judge has resigned, claiming that she cannot remain on the bench “in a dignified way” and that she risks making the judiciary political.

Victoria McCloud, a High Court judge, has told the senior judiciary that she is quitting because “I am now political every time I choose where to pee” and that she has become “a target”….

McCloud, an Oxford University graduate, said the rise of the “gender critical” movement — which holds to what she acknowledges is the “uncontroversial notion” that a person cannot alter their biological sex — has also meant that she can be referred to as a man, despite being legally female.

She argues that as a result, “it has been open season on me and others”. The judge, who will formally stand down in April, added that she feels that “the dignity of the court as well as personal dignity is at stake”.

In the letter, McCloud refers to Rosa Parks, the black US civil liberties campaigner. “Rosa Parks’ choice of seat was political because of the colour of her skin,” McCloud said, adding: “More prosaically, for me I am now political every time I choose where to pee. Less prosaically, the judiciary by continuing to let me be a judge is now at risk of being political.”

Hmm. Rosa Parks couldn't help being black. McCloud chose to transition. 

Not exactly the victim, anyway, as noted here:

Victoria has already been politicising the judiciary, having been on the committee that updated the Equal Treatment Bench Book. This is the document which leads courts to refer to people by their pronoun of choice, and is why rape victims are being asked to refer to their rapists in court as she. It leads to newspapers, when they report such cases, also using preferred pronouns, rendering many newspaper articles indecipherable. Victoria should never have tried to be both a trans rights activist and a judge, and this decision is welcome.

Also:

Confusion on confusion. No, gender critics do not believe that gay people are sinful. No, gender identity is most certainly not a biological characteristic….

And it's you on the way out, not the gender critical movement.
