Christianity and the court ruling on transsexuals
This week a landmark ruling from the European court of Human Rights gave a transsexual the right to be legally recognised as a woman. The ruling raises a host of moral and philosophical questions which are discussed by the Right Reverend Barry Rogerson, Bishop of Bristol - who has a transsexual priest in his diocese, and Don Horrocks of the Evangelical Alliance.

AS TO THE ADMISSIBILITY OF Application No. 28957/95 by Christine GOODWIN against the United Kingdom 1997/12/01

AS TO THE ADMISSIBILITY OF Application No. 25680/94 by I. against the United Kingdom 1997/05/27
Hearing of GOODWIN & I. v. the United Kingdom (2002/03/20)

The European Court of Human Rights will be holding the following hearings in March 2002:

Wednesday 20 March


Grand Chamber

9 a.m. Goodwin & I. v. United Kingdom (no.s 28957/95 & 25680/94) Hearing on merits

The applicants, both United Kingdom nationals, are post-operative male to female transsexuals.
Goodwin - Christine Goodwin, born in 1937, claims that she had problems and faced sexual harassment at work during and following her gender re-assignment. Most recently, she experienced difficulties concerning her national insurance (NI) contributions. As legally she is still a man, she has to continue to pay NI contributions until the age of 65. If she had been recognised as a woman, she would have ceased to be liable at the age of 60 in April 1997. She has had to enter into a special arrangement to continue paying her NI contributions directly herself to avoid questions being raised by her employers about the anomaly. She also alleges that the fact that she keeps the same NI number has meant that her employer has been able to discover that she previously worked for them under another name and gender, with resulting embarrassment and humiliation.
I. - I., who used to work as a dental nurse, claims that she was unable to obtain admittance to a nursing course, as she refused to present her birth certificate. Since 1988 it appears that she has not worked and that she is living on a disability pension due to ill-health.
The applicants both complain about the lack of legal recognition of their post-operative sex and about the legal status of transsexuals in the United Kingdom. They complain, in particular, about their treatment in relation to employment, social security and pensions and their inability to marry either as a man or a woman. Both rely on Articles 8, 12 (right to marry and to found a family) and 14. Ms Goodwin also relies on Article 13.
