I see a certain so-called 'campaiging lawyer' has managed to get Nick Cohen suspended because of his gender critical views.

Mr Maugham took issue with one of the journalist's columns last year, accusing him of complaining "about the cancellation of transphobes".

The barrister - who runs the Good Law Project, a campaign group that takes legal action against alleged government overreach - then put out an appeal on Twitter encouraging women to share any complaints about Mr Cohen. Mr Maugham forwarded several allegations to GNM in late 2021 and published claims about Mr Cohen's behaviour online last month, claiming he was unhappy with how his concerns had been handled.

From the Telegraph article.

What's the trans angle? I can't see any mention of it in the non paywalled articles?

From this article www.theneweuropean.co.uk/turmoil-at-the-guardian-as-top-columnist-is-investigated/

Four or five years ago, a group of 30 to 40 female journalists at the Guardian demanded a meeting with editor-in-chief Kath Viner to complain of a culture of misogyny and sexist bullying within the newsrooms.

This doesn't surprise me one bit, from the home of LOJ where they obviously hate women.

Press Gazette article (non-paywalled).

I can't read it, is there any sort of share token? What is Maugham alleging?

There's much more going on here than the trans issue. Best to read more and get a rounded picture.
