Sunday Times pulls trans toilets article after accuracy complaint

By Freddy Mayhew

The Sunday Times pulled an online article about “self-identifying” trans women being allowed to use ladies’ loos at City of London landmarks following a complaint over its accuracy, which was later upheld by IPSO.

The article reported that a proposal from the City of London Corporation would open up women’s toilets to transgender people, “whether or not they have transitioned”, in what it described as a “radical move”.

The article, which was published on 29 July last year, went on to report reactions to the alleged proposal from feminists and others who said the move was “dangerous”.
