My Take
Maya Forstater is a figure I find genuinely hard to look away from, and I mean that as a kind of respect. A British tax expert trained at Newcastle, she became known not for her economics but for losing work over her views and then taking the fight to court. The substance of that dispute is fiercely contested, and I won't pretend it isn't. What strikes me, regardless of where one lands, is the sheer refusal to go quiet. People who absorb that much pressure without backing down command a grudging attention from me, whatever side of the argument you sit on.
