Maya Forstater, head of the charity Sex Matters, revealed that Scotland Yard has been investigating her since August 2023 for a tweet purportedly regarding Dr. Kamilla Kamaruddin, a transgender former GP. The investigation concerns allegations of malicious communications, which can carry up to two years of imprisonment.
In June 2022, Forstater tweeted that Dr. Kamaruddin “enjoys intimately examining female patients without their consent,” following Kamaruddin’s comments regarding patient interactions post-transition. Forstater claims she received an email from the Metropolitan Police threatening arrest unless she attended a voluntary interview. She attended the interview and was subsequently informed of the tweet under investigation.
Dr. Kamaruddin transitioned in 2015 while working as a GP in East London and now works at a gender services clinic. The GP has received awards for her work post-transition.
As the investigation continues, Forstater has not been informed of any conclusions, nearly a year after the initial police contact. The Met Police acknowledge the duration of the investigation and its impact on those involved.
