Nah, they're just keeping abreast of the times

They may have dug a hole for themselves.

They will probably end up admitting that they made a boob!

Twice as bad as that I'd venture

A bit more detail than was apparent from that Times front page, including Trust's own explanatory statement:

Hmm, it looks like a bunch of medics, managers and journos all with far too much time on their hands. Maybe a bit more focus on mental health might be more productive than public willy waving virtue signalling which ends up making things worse for the people it's trying to give a bit of a leg up to. Maybe the Trust can just shut up and let their people get on with it on a one-to-one basis if that's what a patient wants.

I'm racking this up as yet another man bites dog story and a demonstration of why reading LOTS of different news and views is sensible.

...a demonstration of why reading LOTS of different news and views is sensible.

Or why reading none at all is even more sensible.

[Rob P]

... reading LOTS of different news and views is sensible.

Reading / watching / listening to virtually no news is even more sensible.

To be fair I do now watch some of the local TV news, but I certainly don't buy a newspaper. It is amazing how much needless stress it saves you.

Each to their own but it might explain some of the asshattery* in these hallowed portals.

I agree, @eltonioni, an over-emphasis on being up-to-the-minute and a focus on here today, gone tomorrow journalism rather than an interest in reading more deeply may account for, what you refer to as, asshattery*.

Another term for us to decipher:

Non-binary birthing people.

I'm offended by the use of "willy waving"...............

David, now Diana, Thomas, having been dumped in December by the DT Saturday magazine after an 18 month series following his transitioning progress, has re-surfaced in today's DT with an impassioned rebuttal of this daft move saying that in the end the plain stupidity of the proposals will do his group of folks no good at all.

As a youngster a VERY long time ago I was taught that one of the most devastating criticisms available is:

"He/she means well!"

I can't help feeling that we might be travelling towards that point......

[eltonioni]

@Flyingfemme of course you are. (I'm not falling for that one )

[Bill McCarthy]

Are we to be offended by Mrs Craddocking-around then !
