A police force has been criticised by the home secretary for "policing pronouns" after it said it would not tolerate hateful comments about a child sex offender's gender identity.
Suella Braverman intervened after a row erupted about jailed Sally Ann Dixon.
Dixon had committed the crimes as a man, and some Twitter users objected to police referring to Dixon as a woman.
Sussex Police hit back against "hateful comments" but Ms Braverman accused the force of "playing identity politics".
The force apologised and deleted the tweet.
