It's a very good thing that Maya Forstater has won her employment tribunal claim for discrimination and victimisation after losing her job for stating her belief that people cannot change their biological sex, especially given that the appalling judge at her first tribunal had said her views were not "worthy of respect in a democratic society" - which must be one of the most undemocratic things a British judge has said for a century or more. As for the BBC's reporting of it, I was intrigued by one edit. The original version read:
Ms Forstater's case previously gained public attention, including attracting some high-profile supporters, such as Harry Potter author JK Rowling and presenter Jonathan Ross.

Given that Jonathan Ross has backed her, why was he edited out of this report?
