We weren't totally convinced by the Devonshire's Sunday roast - it was nice, but I think we felt it showed the kitchen could deliver a lot more. We need to go back on a different day for the normal menu.

But even taking its report at face value (because I can't be arsed looking for another source), the guy was jailed for contempt of court, for breaching the court order to not misgender his child, not directly for the misgendering.
The word 'after' in the URL is important (and the word 'daughter' clarifies the site's agenda) ...
