A British woman was arrested after a transgender activist complained she had “misgendered” the individual on Twitter, and is now banned from linking to the person’s former male identity—something known as “deadnaming”—as police investigate a malicious communications charge.
The case comes a few days after another police force apologised for telephoning a 74-year-old woman to tell her to tone down her blog posts on issues of gender because they were attracting complaints.
