Not actually all that unbiased

“Like another reviewer stated, this started out fairly even-keeled. As it continues, Curtis began to push back much harder against supporters of the trans affirmative approach than the critics, such as the representative from the Mermaids foundation and Polly Carmichael.
The critical parent interviews were met with empathy and compassion when they were representative of a small proportion of family voices and largely rooted in on online conspiracies and transphobia. While their stories can be shared, their relative authority on the subject should be positioned against actual clinicians and trans people.
Furthermore, offense at being called transphobic is not a tragedy; suppressing your child’s identity as “just a phase” is. A parent’s sadness for a transitioning child is rooted in transphobia. End of. My heart broke for the misgendered children. It felt irresponsible to include these parents as authoritative subjects.
The Tavistock isn’t like other clinics or services because it is highly politicized and the court of public opinion feels entitled to inform clinical practice. Taking a neutral approach to reporting can still acknowledge that transphobia exists.”

“I gave this 3 stars because there were some very interesting and moving commentary from young people affected by the clinic services and closure. The journalist seems biased from the start and overall it just isn’t reported very well and is a bit…dull.”

“Started at an interesting tone but went downhill, reaching disturbing levels of transphobia. The trans boy’s mother gave me the creeps. Also, what can I say about Freedman, comparing trans to anorexic, emos and goths. The presenter’s bias becomes prevalent despite her efforts to conceal it.”
