I was chatting to a pal about this. She said she'd been reading up about the case, but thought the things maya had said on twitter were unhelpful and childish - calling a trans woman a bloke in a dress being one. She said her tweets were quoted in an article in the independent, or the guardian or something but I can't find it and I can't find any evidence of the tweets maya made that led up to her sacking having anything like this in them.
I did not really follow the case at the time but recently, I have listened to her interviews with Zuby and Benjamin Boyce and she sounds really professional, intelligent and she does not sound like she would throw about childish insults. But my friend is adament, and adament that her behaviour was foolish, not well thought out and that possibly her behaviour led to the judgement?
I am assuming that the stuff written about her for mass consumption was scewed somewhat to serve a certain agenda (much like jkr was misrepresented) ? Was she grossly misrepresented in the press (and was it deliberate) - or does my pal have a point?
