You're viewing a single thread.
I don't have a telegraph account - someone summarise?
Here's an archive of the page.
Ms Tweedale, 58, is said to wear low-cut black corsets, fishnet tights with high heels and a gothic choker with a pentagram when she attends the office.
She's trans and her attire led to a minister stating that kind of "fetish gear" cannot be worn at work. Others working with her say it's highly inappropriate and unprofessional. That's the gist of it.
She's trans
Is that relevant?
Apparently, as the Telegraph decided to give this nothingburger of a paragraph its own heading
Ms Tweedale previously prompted controversy in the department after she was singled out by civil servants who accused her of furthering the “chilling effect” of gender ideology.
the Telegraph
I was asking about OP's comment, not the Telegraph's article. Of course the Telegraph will include irrelevant detail in order to sensationalise (in their view) the story. Others repeating that irrelevant detail is questionable though.
I'll go one better. Here is the archive.
