They still can't get it right – from the Telegraph:

Sharron Davies, the Olympic swimming medallist, is to be made a Conservative peer after leading a campaign to ban transgender people from women’s sport.

Not true. She hasn't campaigned against trans men – biological women – in women's sport. What she's campaigned against is transgender men in women's sport. They shouldn't be in women's sport because they're men, not because they're trans.

    “What she’s campaigned against is transgender men in women’s sport.”
    Actually trans women in women’s sports. Or trans identified men. The latter is the better phrase.

    Well OK, maybe. I was contrasting the article’s “transgender people” with the reality of “transgender men”. Because they are transgender men – men who are transgender.
