Screenshot of newspaper article I’m just ugly not trans, train driver told colleagues Aslef union appears to push back against Supreme Court ruling on definition of ‘woman’ 277 Gareth Corfield Transport Correspondent 09 July 2025 7:13pm BST A train driver insisted they were not transgender but “just ugly” when challenged by colleagues after the Supreme Court ruling on gender. The unnamed driver made the remark following April’s ruling, in which the highest judges in the country said “sex” in equality law refers to biological sex. The “just ugly” comment was quoted in a submission made by Aslef, the train drivers’ trade union, to an Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) consultation. In its submission, Aslef said: “Since the ruling, there have been examples of our members being questioned about their biological sex by colleagues to the level where one member felt the need to explain to their colleagues that ‘they are just ugly’. “We are seriously concerned that similar situations may arise where women in particular are queried about their biological sex to the extent that a birth certificate may be requested and the certificate itself even then queried further.”
