I saw that mentioned on Today, of all places. It certainly wasn't the most insensitive coverage of TG issues I've seen in news media... that the presenter referred to the teenager as a 'girl' and 'she' didn't help matters.
(I know some people do this because they're honestly underinformed, but to me it seems to imply - deliberately or not - that gender dysphoria and its treatment are some kind of whim if girls cutting off their breasts becomes the thrurst of the report.)
(And yeah, it also left out the 'treated since thirteen' part.)
