Newspaper attacks on gender dysphoria physician ‘unfair’, says media watchdog
Associate Professor Michelle Telfer and The Australian have been in a long-running dispute over the diagnosis and treatment of gender dysphoria
The Australian unfairly and personally targeted the head of a high-profile children’s gender clinic across dozens of articles it ran about transgender healthcare, the media watchdog has found.
The director of Melbourne’s Royal Children’s Hospital gender clinic, Associate Professor Michelle Telfer, complained to the Australian Press Council about 45 articles published by the newspaper, including news stories, opinion pieces and editorials.
