![A half page article from the Sunday independent with the headline OMB2590 A woman and the Sunday independent.
The article outlines the complaint, the appeal and the decision.
The complaint relates to an opinion column deploring the fact that an unnamed td provided a character reference for a man convicted of sexual violence against children. A sentence in the column argued that this case threw light on the possibility that a man would “identify as a woman” in order to commit sexual violence.
The press council concluded that “a reference to a protected group [trans people] in this context should have been extremely carefully scrutinised”. It found that the Sunday independent was in violation of principle 8 of the press council code of practice.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:n2qmeigsng3rhkgmqihius4g/bafkreia7cdisf6qfj6fetyejhbmojfdwomrxs6pib6za3zu377t6pfypry)
