It is alleged that Caroline Farrow, who is also a mother and social commentator, made a transphobic comment during a heated exchange on Twitter last year.
Posting on Twitter, she said: “I now need to inform my children that Mummy is in trouble with the police because there was this girl, who was born in a boy’s body, whom I might have inadvertently referred to as a boy.”
Surrey Police has been investigating whether a hate crime was committed under the Malicious Communications Act. Such an offence carries a sentence of up to two years in prison.
A row on social media erupted following the 44 year old’s appearance on ITV’s Good Morning Britain show last September.
Mrs Farrow appeared with the transgender rights campaigner Susie Green to discuss a Girl Guides policy of not informing parents if a transgender youngster joins.
It is in the row which followed that Mrs Farrow allegedly misgendered Ms Green’s transgender daughter, Jackie.
Commenting on Twitter, she said: “I probably said ‘he’ or ‘son’ or something.
“I have pointed out to the police that I am a Catholic journalist and commentator and it is my religious belief that a person cannot change sex.
If anyone is interested Susie Green is going to be discussing her complaint and my ‘distressing spiteful transphobia’ on @vicderbyshire this morning. I was invited on the show but declined.
