It did not occur to me, as a man, to put myself in the shoes of a woman, encountering a “legal woman” with male genitals in a women-only space." And that is coming from a human rights professor.

I changed my mind on trans rights – and lost multiple friends

As a human rights lawyer, I never questioned the trans movement. But, after a lightbulb moment, I publicly changed my position

By Robert Wintemute 27 May 2025

I am a human rights lawyer and professor at King’s College London. Until 2018, I supported all the demands of the transgender-rights movement. But since then, I have changed my mind.

Why? Because I finally understood that some demands conflict with the rights of women and are therefore unreasonable.

I first encountered transgender rights as a University of Oxford PhD student, researching the human rights of lesbian, gay and bisexual individuals and same-sex couples. The claims of transsexual persons, as they were then known, seemed different to me. I did not understand them, so I was reluctant to comment on them.

And when, in the 2002 Christine Goodwin case (Goodwin said that she had faced sexual harassment at work following gender-affirming surgery), the European Court of Human Rights ruled that the UK must amend the sex on the birth certificates of “post-operative transsexuals” to reflect their “new sexual identity”, I thought that this must be progress. At last, the UK would have to catch up with other European countries.

Two years later, when the Gender Recognition Act of 2004 went well beyond that ruling, by not requiring any surgery or other medical treatment (a person with a beard and male genitals could become legally female), it struck me as very generous but I did not question it.

I assumed that whatever the transgender community demanded must be reasonable.

They knew what they needed. It did not occur to me, as a man, to put myself in the shoes of a woman, encountering a “legal woman” with male genitals in a women-only space.

As such, when I joined a group of experts in Indonesia to draft the 2007 Yogyakarta Principles, widely cited as “best practice” on sexual orientation and gender identity, I did not question the proposals of the transgender experts.

Everything changed in 2018. My lightbulb moment came at a university summer school. I was asked to explain the “spousal veto” under UK law: a wife must consent, if her husband wishes to change his legal sex to female and in turn make their opposite-sex marriage into a same-sex marriage. I said that the husband’s human right to change his legal sex could be limited to respect “the rights of others” (the wife’s right not to be in a same-sex marriage against her will).

A transgender student could not understand how I could compare the husband’s “fundamental human right” with the wife’s right under “a contract” (their marriage). Feeling frustrated, I said: “Trans rights don’t trump everything else!”

The transgender student became angry and stormed out of the classroom. Finally, it dawned on me that some members of the transgender-rights movement did not seem to understand that women have human rights too.

Over the next two years, I began to speak with women about their concerns about some transgender demands.

One woman asked if I had read Principle 31 of the 2017 Yogyakarta Principles (in which I did not participate). I had not done so and was shocked when I read it.

It boldly claimed that every country in the world must remove sex from birth certificates and, until then, allow change of legal sex based on self-identification (without a diagnosis of gender dysphoria).

In 2021, I publicly changed my position. On April 1 of that year, in an interview published in The Critic, I criticised Principle 31 and suggested for the first time that allowing change of legal sex might not be necessary to protect the rights of transgender people.

Fifteen days later, citing the interview, an LGBT organisation terminated its relationship with me, after more than twenty years.

To an LGBT-rights activist I had known for just as long, I wrote: “I hope that we can still be friends!” He replied that he wanted “to take a break for a bit” (now four years and counting).

A month later, I became a trustee of the charity LGB Alliance (founded in 2019 after Stonewall began to prioritise transgender issues) and went on to speak at its first annual conference.

In that speech, I focused on the legal changes I had witnessed since 2002 and linked the political tensions surrounding transgender rights to an “abuse of sympathy”, which had in turn led to an “escalation of demands”.

I charted how we had shifted from change of legal sex after surgery, to change of legal sex without medical treatment but with safeguards (a diagnosis of gender dysphoria and a two-year waiting period), to change of legal sex based on self-identification (with no safeguards) and finally to removing sex from birth certificates (meaning that there is no legal sex to change).

These were ideas I carried forwards to a staff research seminar at King’s in November of 2021 – albeit not without controversy. The Dean of the School of Law rejected calls to cancel the event and showed his support for freedom of expression by attending. Three security guards were posted outside the room (a first in my thirty years at the university), but no protesters appeared.

Two years later, in January 2023, I was scheduled to give the same talk at Montréal’s McGill University Faculty of Law (where I had studied).

But this time I faced a hostile mob of between 100-200 students.

How Startup India Helps Boost the Indian Startup Ecosystem

With thousands of creative startups transforming industries and addressing pressing issues, India has become one of the world's top startup centers. The Government of India's Startup India Registration program, which was introduced in 2016 with the goals of encouraging innovation, fostering entrepreneurship, and building a strong startup ecosystem, is the main impetus behind this change. DPIIT Registration is a key component of this program, offering startups a host of advantages that improve funding availability, reduce compliance obligations, and streamline operations. This article examines the ways in which the Startup India initiative has greatly aided in the expansion of India's startup ecosystem through DPIIT Recognition and DIPP Registration.

Recognizing Startup India Registration and DPIIT Recognition

A government-led procedure called Startup India Registration formally recognizes qualified startups so they can receive a number of advantages. The Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) is in charge of overseeing this program. Startups who successfully register are granted a Startup India Certificate, which certifies their eligibility for government programs and incentives. A startup's official accreditation within the Startup India framework is indicated by the words DPIIT Registration and DIPP Registration (earlier terminology), which are sometimes used interchangeably.

The Role of DPIIT Recognition in Strengthening India's Startup Background

Simplifying Business Setup and Compliance

DPIIT Recognition streamlines regulatory processes by allowing startups to self-certify under various labor and environmental laws for five years.

Recognized startups enjoy a hassle-free compliance process, significantly reducing the bureaucratic burden.

In addition to confirming a startup's validity, the Startup India Certificate provides access to unmatched resources and support.

From India to Georgia: A Smart Guide for Students to Achieve MBBS Success Abroad

Due to intense competition and limited seats, Indian students have started pursuing MBBS abroad. European countries like Georgia nurture both educational and cultural aspects. In case you have made up your mind to travel to Georgia for your studies at BAU International University Batumi, you might want to look into this guide about do’s and don’ts.

 Why MBBS Abroad? 

India’s Restriction of Seats: In India, the number of available medical seats is very restrictive. Out of the 1 lakh available, there are 16 lakh aspirants vying for the seats. Many students find themselves in a position where their home country does not provide sufficient medical seats. 

Economic Accessibility: Unlike the privately funded colleges in India, the MBBS courses abroad have lower fees, therefore making them more economically viable for a wider range of students. 

Global Recognition: Degrees from reputed foreign universities are accepted in multiple nations, allowing students to practice in several countries, thus enhancing substantial career prospects. 

Broadening Borders: The wide range of cultures that can be interacted with and the people met abroad helps students develop a wider perspective towards life.

DOs

Research Thoroughly

University Reputation: Make sure you verify a particular university’s reputation and accreditation. Check if it is listed by the Indian Medical Council and other global medical bodies to avoid issues practicing back home or elsewhere.

Medium of Instruction: As English is the predominant medium used across numerous medical institutions, confirm whether it is the medium of instruction or not.

Meet Eligibility Criteria

Academic Requirements: Check that you at least have a minimum 50% in PCB (Physics, Chemistry and Biology) in your 10+2 examinations. This is the standard requirement for most medical programs.

NEET Qualification: Completing NEET is a requirement, as it is necessary for MBBS admission abroad. You will find that most foreign universities expect that score from Indian students.

Prepare Documents

Passport and Visa: Furthermore, ensure your passport is valid for at least one more year. It’s important for visa applications and travel. Apply for a student visa well in advance to avoid last-minute hassle.

NEET Scorecard and Medical Certificate: Ensure you have all relevant documents, such as a passport, medical certificate, and NEET scorecard. Also, check that all documents are valid and not close to expiration.

Plan Finances

Total Cost Calculation: Make a budget plan for your study abroad expenses, including tuition and living costs. Account for lodging, sustenance, and transportation.

Scholarships and Financial Aid: Search for any available scholarships or grants. Several universities provide scholarships for foreign students based on criteria or given aid.

Bank Account: Set up a new bank account in the country you are relocating to for easier access to your finances.

Stay in Touch

University and Peers: Continuously communicate with your institution and other students to know what changes, if any, will happen. Being in touch with students will ensure you do not miss any critical information like deadlines or other events.

Student Groups: Participate in student groups or forums to connect with others facing similar challenges.

Cultural Adaptation

Learn Local Culture: You should be open to understanding the Georgian way of life and their practices. Learning these elements will enable you to enjoy your stay better. Cultural adaptation will be an extra advantage to your experience abroad.

Basic Phrases: Pick up a few words in the local dialects of the people to assist you in engagements as well as appreciate the culture.

DON’Ts

Don’t Rush

Proper Research: Decisions about the university should not be made hastily without conducting adequate research on a particular university and its affiliated programs. Make sure to check the various available options and take your time in selecting what best fits you. 

Don’t Ignore Local Laws

Familiarize with Laws: In Georgia, individuals must be aware of local customs and laws to avoid legal trouble. Knowing the local customs and laws will keep you safe and compliant. 

Don't Forget To Purchase International Health Insurance

Health Coverage: Medical emergencies can be extremely costly, which is why it is important to purchase international health insurance. Health insurance is very important to protect yourself financially in case of any medical expenses. 

Don’t Forget FMGE Preparation

Early Preparation: If practicing in India is your ultimate goal, starting your preparations for the Foreign Medical Graduates Examination (FMGE) should be your first step. Foreign medical graduates wishing to practice in India must pass the FMGE examination. Remember to utilize online study guides, books, and other materials available to you in order to prepare for the changing exam pattern and syllabus. 

Don’t Miss Important Deadlines

Track Deadlines: Dates such as visa and application deadlines are crucial to be both noted and remembered to ensure a smooth transition.

��BAU International University Batumi - an overview 

Accreditation: Check the accreditation of the institutions and the recognition from the medical council of your country. This will make sure that you have no problems with employment internationally. 

Curriculum: Make sure that the syllabus is prepared in compliance with international standards to help in FMGE, if needed. A well-designed and detailed syllabus will aid in the preparation for the exams and practical sessions. 

Student life: Get to know what facilities are there at the campus, the different student bodies and their activities, and the cultural events that are organized. A vibrant campus life fosters creativity, helps students build useful connections, and enhances personal growth. 

Clinical exposure: It is preferential to the universities, which gives us an abundance of clinical exposure and practice. Georgia offers extensive clinical exposure, ensuring students gain hands-on experience crucial for their medical education.

 Final thoughts 

Pursuing MBBS in another country can be a game-changing experience for students seeking a prospect in advanced medicine as well as ace the new cultures, thereby expanding their professional and cultural spheres. By following the above-mentioned tips, you can ease the transition. More importantly, this experience is not only educational but rather enlightening on various levels. If you're overwhelmed by options, reach out to consultants like HSA Visa World for guidance. 

At the commencement of your journey, ensure that you concentrate on your objectives while also being receptive to new opportunities. Interacting with other students and professors will provide you with valuable information and chances. Remember your ultimate career objectives, whether they are in India or foreign countries. Also, do not forget to keep in contact with friends and family. This will motivate and support you.
