And?

Her fairly normal opinions about trans inclusion in sports or whatever aren’t relevant to the topic being discussed

I didn’t say they were. But people should be aware of who they are giving their clicks to.

I guess since the thread has been derailed might as ask - is this summation of her problematic behaviour accurate?
She’s not exactly JK Rowling.
Being against trans inclusion in sports puts her in line with almost every sports governing body. There’s a legitimate concern about inclusion on both sides in terms of representation of both women and transwomen in sports, so no resolution is possible that will keep both parties satisfied.
Additionally voicing skepticism about puberty blockers is exactly what the NHS has been doing in recent months.
It looks to me like she’s been singled out for being a centre left journalist who has opinions which deviate slightly from what she’s “supposed” to think. Also it was weird of you to bring up her race in the original comment - her being a white woman is orthogonal to the criticism you are making of her.
