I follow a neat twitter account, [@TransMediaWatch](http://twitter.com/transmediawatch), which posts articles from the UK daily about gender news of all sorts, and this came up as a negative counterpoint to a more positively worded article. It's certainly a very poorly written article. There's a lot of weird phrasing that's just sort of, kind of, maybe trying to hide a bias, but not really succeeding, including good examples of using an adjective to objectify, as in "the transsexual hails from...". It seems that the Telegraph tends to do a better job both of posting relatively okays, and posting corrections when TMW calls them out.
