Cleo is devastated after a new British law labeled her as a gay man, even after undergoing bottom surgery to transition to a woman

Cleo Corraine, a former 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days cast member, recently shared her feelings of betrayal towards the British court system after being affected by a controversial new law.

Britain’s highest court ruled on Wednesday that only biological and not trans women meet the definition of a woman under equality laws, a landmark decision greeted with concern by trans supporters but welcomed by the government as bringing clarity. This ruling has officially labeled Cleo as a gay man, despite her identity as a trans woman and her journey to transition, leaving her disheartened and questioning the protections offered to trans individuals in the UK.

Cleo’s struggles with her gender identity have been a lifelong challenge, marked by bullying and prejudice. Born a trans woman, she spent many years unable to afford the bottom surgery that would align her physical identity with her true self. Finally, last year, she was able to undergo this transformation, but her efforts have now been undermined by Britain’s highest court.

This decision has sparked strong reactions. While trans supporters have voiced concern over the harmful implications of this ruling, others have welcomed it as a definitive stance on gender definitions. Despite this, Cleo is left grappling with the emotional toll of a decision that disregards her identity and lived experience.

Even though this ruling made Cleo feel more hopeless and depressed than ever, she has tried to address the situation with her signature sarcasm and humor.

In a recent Instagram story, Cleo reflected on her newly assigned identity under British law, expressing it with a blend of humor and irony. She pondered whether being officially labeled as a gay man would lead her to find a masculine partner who could cook her pasta dinners and propose to her. This lighthearted yet bittersweet sentiment shows her effort to bring humor into a situation that has otherwise left her feeling hopeless and disconnected. Despite her humor, her remarks hint at deeper frustration and sadness, revealing her longing to be recognized as the female partner in a relationship and her struggle with a society and legal system that fail to validate her identity.
