12. "However, psychologist Roberto D'Angelo said some kids are still only having up to half a dozen sessions before being prescribed drugs."

News Corp somehow forgot to mention that Roberto D'Angelo is a clinical advisor to the Society for Evidence-based Gender Medicine (#SEGM), a pseudoscientific anti-trans pressure group [1] [2] [3], which pretends to be supported by crowdfunding while actually being supported by large donations of opaque origin [4].

News Corp knew this, of course, but even if they hadn't, D'Angelo isn't exactly subtle about his views. His interaction with the public discourse is primarily through contributions to academic journals, so we can get a good idea of it by looking at his public profile on the academic social network ResearchGate [5].

On the list of publications which D'Angelo authored or co-authored, every publication since May 2018 [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] [15] has been open advocacy for trans hostile views. That's 10 of his 13 listed publications since 2003, incidentally; talk about #RileysLaw [16]!
