The Age newspaper in Melbourne, Australia, has ended its relationship with columnist Julie Szego over a feature story about youth gender identity disorders.

According to Szego, she had been commissioned to write a 5,000-word feature article on the issue, but the current editor, Patrick Elligett, refused to run it.
