Politician is sorry for ‘pain and hurt’ caused by one of her retweets https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-wales-55259522

The Plaid Cymru politician has retweeted this account, Dr Rosa Freedman. Dr Freedman gave evidence to MPs this week in the news inquiry into whether the Gender Recognition Act should be reformed (sorry don’t have a BBC link to a story about this)

This is the tweet that she retweeted. Everything becomes complicated with unretweets, deletions and protections so here is the screenshot

Just unprotected so here’s the link! Unfortunately women engaged in this debate do get a lot of abuse and some of it can be violent, so account protections are a useful tool https://twitter.com/goonerprof/status/1337112161659871232

Dr Freedman herself was quote tweeting a lawyer who is critical of the High Court ruling on the medical transition of children and is raising funds for various legal challenges ‘in consultation with the transgender community’. The ‘Conrathe’ he mentions is Keira Bell’s lawyer.

This is Dr Freedman, who is herself Jewish, and tells the BBC here how she has been accused of being a Nazi for publicly speaking about women’s rights https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-berkshire-46454454

Dr Freedman was calling for the debate on this issue not to be compared to the Holocaust. Here is our latest on the Holocaust

Kristallnacht anniversary: 'We were frightened for our lives' https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-54841345

Balancing links: If anyone has a link to Dr Freedman’s evidence to the Women and Equalities committee, pls do post, I can’t find it. And finally this is the lawyer’s account whose tweet began the story. End
