Dawes responded, saying she was in personal touch with Stonewall on the matter. She said it was advising her as to how she could make broadcasters ‘steer their way through these debates without causing offence and without bringing inappropriate voices to the table’. She was not lying. On 1 January this year, the Ofcom code as to what was permissible was updated so as to include ‘intolerance’ of transgender issues under the category of hate speech, and thus make it much more difficult for groups like the LGB Alliance to voice their views in the future.

I didn't know this about Ofcom. Bad news for the LGBA and women's groups.
