![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)
!["I'm called a paedophile and a groomer online by people like [Father Ted creator and anti-trans activist] Graham Linehan, and now people believe what they read. People believe it when they're told the Earth is flat," he says. His support for trans rights has resulted in years of death threats and
"groomer" smears, which he used to brush off. "But the online world is becoming the real world. People have worked out my address, and one person turned up at my house. If you believe a paedophile lives here, it's not the maddest thing in the world to come and get me. I've been saying for years that our rights are paper-thin, and here we are. What scares me is that I can't see an end to it. Nothing is going to unseat these tech barons - it will require some sort of revolution to stop them. So for the first time in history, hatred is being monetised by an algorithm."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:bcgtpezwhu5ynanpiezkmfim/bafkreibb7jegeej5bqy4bqwzavfzack77peo3nft3kbt52cw2rhmpmjhhy)
