Yes I saw Media Watch. The trans activist grifters/obsessives are all frothing at it - but it was very measured, careful report.

They mentioned Hadley Freeman's exit from the Guardian, too, which was great as she was very clear about how she was treated and it's clearly a pattern of not letting women speak at work.

Anyone with half a brain can see what's going on, those that don't are either disingenuous because they can't afford to admit the emperor has no clothes (Clementine Ford is a very good case in point, has built her whole career on feminism and dismantling stereotypes yet lets this one slide....)
