Withdraw Jenni Murray's DBE unless she apologises for disparaging trans women.
She made money by writing a very insulting article in the Daily Telegraph about women gender reassignees. This group is protected by the Equalities Act, for the good reason that they risk verbal abuse and assault as the go about their lives. Such articles encourage this behaviour.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/03/05/jenni-murray-transgender-women-not-real-women leading to this virtually identical article http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-39173398. It all creates a climate in which it is OK to attack trans women.
