The Guardian/The Observer coming to their senses

[MangoSeason]

Can’t fault this editorial. I guess some grown-ups have managed to infiltrate the cesspool. Is it just me, or are a lot of the TRA cheerleading media frantically trying to provide balance now the High Court has exposed one of the greatest medical scandals of all time?

Well, that's a nice surprise from The Guardian!

So they're doing a reverse ferret? They may finally be doing the right thing now The Sunday Times won the right to publish the legal evidence, but I'm going to remember that they stayed silent until the last while The Times and The Daily Mail were sounding the alarm.

This, surely, is just common sense? We have age restrictions on getting married, having sex, voting and buying alcohol for very good reasons - why all of a sudden was it perfectly fine to allow minors to make irreversible changes to their physical bodies with treatments that are under-researched, often with little to no prior counselling or attempts to find out what might be causing these patients' dysphoria?

The whole thing is surreal.

That article is over a month old, and we had threads on it at the time.

The Observer has a different editorial team to The Guardian and is a lot saner generally (tends to attract staff members who engage their brain on complicated issues rather than cheerleading the fashionable p.o.v) - I don't think this editorial signals a particular change of heart.

Exactly that. It was discussed when it was first published . The Observer never lost its senses, they just waiting for all the idiots to go home for the weekend and kept reporting properly. Nearly all of the articles on the Tavistock and Keira Bell have been reported on a Sunday.
