What folks should watch for now is whether he’ll double down. In 2018, he later repeated his baseless allegation that his enemy was a pedophile and then tried to make that allegation true by attempting to plant bad information with a reporter (me).

"Gender critical" people aren't really feminists. Bioessentialist beliefs are the root of misogyny, and people who espouse such beliefs are complicit in their own oppression.

Thank you!
I think he really wants the whip back, so is parrotting the party line. Luckily, my son's MP at university is a staunch ally and has spoken up on both these fundamental issues.

Gender critical activists should - by their own reasoning - be segregated and made to use separate loos.
That would be (indirect) discrimination on account of a philosophical belief, but it could be considered a proportionate means of achieving a legitimate aim under the Equality Act.
