A researcher had his paper rejected because he was 'opinionated' and had tweeted in support of author JK Rowling 's gender-critical views.
The British Medical Journal has been accused of 'abandoning science' after it rejected research from top academics over their views on the trans debate.
Dr Michael Biggs, an Oxford University sociologist, was blacklisted over a paper saying the official number of transgender people in the UK – 262,000 – is unreliable because of a confusingly-worded census question. He said a number of people who don't speak English as a first language had answered 'no' to: 'Is the gender you identify with the same as your sex registered at birth?'
Dr Biggs said 'some journal editors... don't care if an article is true, but whether it helps disadvantaged or oppressed minorities'.
