Toby Young, the director of the Free Speech Union, told The Telegraph that it was not the press regulator’s role to “enforce gender identity ideology”. He said: “Ipso is supposed to make sure newspaper and magazine articles are fair and accurate. It shouldn’t be in the business of trying to enforce gender identity ideology. Punishing the Spectator for publishing something factually accurate about a trans woman risks turning it into a laughing stock.”
