You would never know it, but the Editor's Code of Conduct says that someone's status as trans should only be mentioned if relevant to the story.

Anyway, here's the Telegraph today...
Transgender laird takes to the battlements over tourist lodge The Daily Telegraph9 Mar 2026By Telegraph Reporter Samantha Kane, also known as Lady Carbisdale A TRANSGENDER laird is locked in a planning row with a neighbour over plans for a new holiday let in the Scottish Highlands. Samantha Kane, who became the self-styled Lady Carbisdale after buying Carbisdale Castle near Ardgay in 2022, has objected to neighbour Rupert Haig-thomas’s plans to build a lodge for tourists. Under the proposals, the lodge would include three bedrooms, a kitchen-diner, a snug sitting room, a living room, a boot room, and several bathrooms. But Kane said the plans were not suitable for the area, which is surrounded by ancient forest and is in an area of outstanding beauty. Cardisdale Castle “should be cherished and protected”, Kane said, telling The Telegraph: “I want to preserve it for future generations, I don’t want anything to harm the castle. “It is a complete disregard for the area and history of the land.” In planning documents, Kane said the plans would “devastate the castle”, was “not in keeping with the design” and would “interfere with the aesthetic setting of Carbisdale Castle”. A second objection from Kane’s company, Carbisdale Castle Ltd, added: “The lodge will be adverse to the historic listed building and it will negatively impact the setting and the nature and our business model here at Carbisdale Castle.

Note that not even a Telegraph reporter would put their name to this piece that's apparently so important it's on page 3.
Trans castle owner fury at council expulsion The Daily Telegraph - Saturday24 May 2025By Telegraph Reporter A TRANSGENDER Scottish castle owner has branded the local community council a “lynch mob” for orchestrating a campaign to remove them from the group. Samantha Kane, who styles themself as Lady Carbisdale after buying Carbisdale Castle near Ardgay in 2022, had been accused of acting “like a football hooligan” in meetings, stamping their feet and behaving “like a six-year-old”. Around 150 members of the Ardgay and District community council in Sutherland voted unanimously in favour of dissolving the council on Thursday night, before signing a petition for it to be reformed – without the castle owner. Kane said: “The meeting was pre-determined with the sole purpose of getting me out, which is discriminatory and undemocratic. I am petitioning the Outer House of the Court of Session to declare both the meeting, which decided to put the motion, and the public meeting last night, unlawful. “It was predetermined by bias against me based on malice, hatred and discrimination. I have never seen such a lynch mob – all that was missing were the pitchforks.” The dissolution motion had been proposed by vice-chairman Robert Sawyer and seconded by chairman Les Waugh, with all of the councillors present except Kane in favour. Mr Waugh said the council had received written and verbal complaints about the castle owner’s behaviour at meetings. He previously said: “She sometimes behaves like a six-year-old child who has been scolded, shouting at people and stamping her feet.” #TransAgendaClips

This is the 4th time in the last 2 weeks that Michael Deacon has used his Telegraph column to slabber about trans people.
Way of the World Michael Deacon The Daily Telegraph - Saturday21 Dec 2024. A64-year-old Iraq-born trans woman, we reported this week, is suing the NHS after it refused to carry out her third “gender reassignment” operation. Apparently the plaintiff goes by two names: Samantha Kane and Lady Carbisdale. Admittedly, “Lady Carbisdale” isn’t some ancient aristocratic title she was born to inherit – it’s just how she chooses to style herself. But perhaps it’s best not to point this out. Saying “But you’re not a real Lady” could get you in serious trouble. At any rate, it’s a fascinating story – mainly because, as our reporter noted, Lady Carbisdale is believed to be “the only person in Britain to have changed gender three times”. If true, this shatters the record held by a previous author of this very column. Fifty years ago, when gender ideology was still very much in its infancy, Auberon Waugh revealed to his readers that he was “the only human being in the world who has changed sex and then changed back again”. He explained: “My reason for changing sex in the first place was a general feeling that at 34 it was time for a change. My reason for changing back was the ghastly boredom of women’s conversation after dinner.” Perhaps this is why Lady Carbisdale also changed back to being a man. As she’s subsequently chosen to become a woman again, however, she must have found men’s after-dinner conversation to be even more boring. Come to think of it, her ladyship is a barrister. I wonder whether she ever had dinner with Sir Keir Starmer.
