The headlines refering to Dr Kate Stone all mentioned that she is transgender. Included were: “Sex swap scientist in fight for life”, “Sex-swap scientist gored by stag”, and “Deer spears sex-swap Kate.”. The press commission have decided that isn't right as she is a private individual. Public individuals will I expect still be hung out to dry.
