Guardian article - interesting use of pronouns

[aliasundercover]

Here's the article. CeCe Telfer cannot go to the olympics because Telfer i̶s̶ ̶a̶ ̶c̶h̶e̶a̶t̶ has not met the eligibility requirements www.theguardian.com/sport/2021/jun/24/cece-telfer-transgender-runner-olympic-trials

What I found interesting is that the article refers to Telfer as 'Telfer' throughout, only calling Telfer 'she' when giving direct quotes. Are they coming to their senses over there?

The byline says 'Agencies' which I think (tell me if I'm wrong) means it's come from a news agency not their own sports desk? Still interesting that they actually printed it I suppose but I'm not sure it means the Guardian has fallen just yet

Fallen? Risen out of the slough, surely?

I meant fallen into the wrong side of history.

I really feel for those who signed that nasty letter about Suzanne Moore, they must be feeling terrified in the office now.

Good!
