UK government wrong to deny pension to transgender woman, rules European court
The UK government discriminated against a transgender woman by denying her a state pension upon retirement age, the European Court of Justice has ruled.
Britain’s Supreme Court had asked European judges to rule on the case, which involved an unnamed individual who was born a man in 1948.
The claimant, referred to only as MB, married a woman in 1974 and later had two children. She began to live as a woman in 1991 and underwent gender reassignment surgery in 1995.
