'I Have Been Made Into A Political Object'- Victoria McCloud

On this week's episode, we are thrilled to be joined by Victoria McCloud, a trailblazing British lawyer and former judge. Victoria made history as the UK's first transgender judge and the youngest Master in the High Court of Justice. She served for 14 years until her bold decision to leave the judiciary in 2024. 

Victoria opens up about her remarkable journey, her identity, and the real reasons behind her departure. We dive into the forces at play: the impact of the American evangelical right, media slander campaigns, and the alarming rise in transphobia. What does this mean for trailblazers like Victoria who find themselves politicized? Join us for an amazingly candid retelling of Victoria's experiences in the judiciary and the challenges that led her to walk away from her role, right here on 'Legal Brew.'
