Gender-critical activist Maya Forstater has revealed she was investigated by the Metropolitan Police for 15 months over a social media post about a transgender doctor, in a case bearing striking similarities to journalist Allison Pearson's recent police encounter.

Speaking about the experience to GB News, Forstater explained that she had been "harassed" by the police because of a tweet about a male doctor who had transitioned and was "boasting about examining female patients who would previously not have agreed to be examined by a male doctor without a chaperone."
