Dr Victoria McCloud , 55 , came out as trans in her twenties and is one of about 8,000 people to have legally changed the sex on their birth certificate.

She stood down as a High Court Master last year , saying she could not continue her judicial work amid an increasingly difficult public debate that led to her being singled out for abuse and criticism.

She plans to take the government to the European Court of Human Rights over the Supreme Court's ruling.

Dr McCloud believes dangerous predators could exploit this confusion to further target women.

"I am now expected to use male spaces. It isn't safe for women to use the men's loos. It is as simple as that," she said.

Campaigners including For Women Scotland say women felt unsafe with trans women using female facilities.
