I think @rights_info 's coverage of the question of how proposals for gender self ID will impact on women's rights has been woefully inadequate and skewed. When I raised this with founder and chair @AdamWagner1 he told me to make an official complaint

Rights Info describe it as “A Highly Charged Atmosphere” "Intimidation". The person who brought the case against Linda & Venice was "Terrified of turning up at court….from the point of view of my personal safety.” “They have made me frightened and they have made me scared”

Rights Info replied "The Collins dictionary definition of ”highly charged” is “a situation [which] is extremely tense and emotional, and likely to make people have very strong reactions”. Many protests fit within this definition and this particular protest grew to 100 people.

"In this regard, the description by our journalist using the adjective “highly charged” was a reasonable description based on their experience of the protest"

They also defended reporting that “the conversations around the GRA consultation had gone too far” using language like “an outpouring of hatred” “blinded by the anger surrounding the GRA debate” ,“hysterical and heightened”
