Father Ted co-creator Graham Linehan has told BBC News he stands by his posts on X which led to his arrest last week, over his views on challenging "a trans-identified male" in "a female-only space".
"I don't regret anything I've tweeted - sometimes I've tweeted a bit more out of anger, because of the frustration that no-one's paying attention to this issue," he told BBC special correspondent Lucy Manning.
Speaking about his arrest, he said: "I got very, very angry, because for eight years now, I've been standing up for women's rights and trying to get people's attention about what's happening to kids in gender clinics."
Last week the writer was arrested by five officers after arriving at Heathrow on a flight from the US.
The arrest sparked a backlash from some public figures and politicians, and prompted a fierce debate about policing and free speech.
