I was pleasantly surprised! It says comments will be turned on later.

here.

It would have been great for the article to include mention of Linda being questioned under caution, but I'm pleased to read this in The Guardian, of all places.

Rogue apostrophe in the title. Damn you, autocorrect!

Really good article for The Guardian, perhaps they are finally trying to be objective. Sister Outrider has a really good site and has been writing about these issues for a while.

The only quote I have an issue with is this one

A policy based around self-identification is exploitable – a man could take a university place reserved for a woman by falsely claiming to identify as female – which presents a serious problem.

I think anyone male taking a place reserved for women is a problem. In current trans ideology there is no such thing as 'falsely claiming' - if you say it then you are it is how it goes.

I suspect Sister Outrider knows this though and probably had to toe a certain line to get published at all.

Agree, I retweeted it before I realised the date. I usually avoid tweeting and liking old news stories

Ah I didn't see it was an older article. Still relevant though.
