They mention that Allison Bailey is a “lesbian barrister.”

Can they specify each time they mention Susie Green and Mermaids that she is a straight woman and that it is an org run by a straight woman? I can’t wait til they start scrutinizing her Ted Talk and call out that she is married to a man that she admits is homophobic?

Finally we are left with Gendered Intelligence UK. They are more mysterious. I can’t even find out who is leading them even after reviewing their website. But they describe themselves as “trans-led.”

I’d be more than fine with articles saying straight, and trans-led to describe these orgs and their leadership. It proves the exact point LGB Alliance is trying to make. They should call that out now that they’re getting mainstream press.

    Jolyon Maugham the tax barrister (and occasional fox killer) at the centre of this along with Green is a straight man.
