  Apparently, as the Telegraph decided to give this nothingburger of a paragraph its own heading

  Ms Tweedale previously prompted controversy in the department after she was singled out by civil servants who accused her of furthering the “chilling effect” of gender ideology.

    the Telegraph

    I was asking about OP’s comment, not the Telegraph’s article.

      Well, the article itself dedicates a section to how she’s been targeted for “gender ideology”, which is dog whistle for “trans”. Calling non-cis gender expression a “fetish” is another dog whistle. Those two points in combination make her trans-ness relevant, even if the author isn’t going so far as to explicitly call out that this anti-trans behavior.

        Again, I wasn’t talking about the article.
