An English police force has apologised for telling people not to make “hateful comments” about a transgender sex offender’s gender identity after the home secretary told them to “focus on catching criminals not policing pronouns.”

On Tuesday, Sussex Police posted on Twitter a news piece with the headline “Woman convicted of historic offences against children in Sussex” about Sally Ann Dixon.
