UK Police have threatened to arrest a female journalist if she fails to appear for a taped interview following reports she “misgendered” someone’s transgender daughter.
Caroline Farrow said she received a message from Guildford Police accusing the Catholic columnist of misgendering a transgender person on Twitter.
“I don’t even remember said tweets! I probably said ‘he’ or ‘son’ or something,” Farrow tweeted in a string of posts detailing the incident.
Farrow also went on to say, her family have been left terrified by activists harassing her family.
According to Farrow, the group “doxed my children, made violent and sexual threats, signed me up to porn accounts, did the same to my husband, [and] threatened to visit here.”

I have pointed out to the police that I am a Catholic journalist/commentator and it is my religious belief that a person cannot change sex. That we are in the middle of a national conversation about what it means to be male and what it means to be female.

Nonetheless following my appearance on National Television the CPS have decided I need to be interviewed under caution for misgendering Susie Green’s child.

All I have been told that following an appearance on Good Morning Britain I made some tweets misgendering Susie Green’s child and that I need to attend a taped interview.

I don’t even remember said tweets. This was in September! But I really not got give a flying toss. I have done nothing wrong, nothing illegal and will happily do jail time for my right to say that people cannot change sex.

Here’s the GMB interview the police referred to. From what I understand this wasn’t illegal but some follow-up tweets were. https://t.co/suOELE7aSK

Oh and if I don’t go for an interview about some tweets that allegedly misgendered, I will apparently be arrested. Which is nice. ??
