This is the right behind “Martha’s rule”, which is being introduced in the NHS, to ensure patients know they can ask for a second opinion, with[ the government providing funding to hospitals for posters and leaflets informing patients and their families.
Martha Mills died aged 13, after being admitted to King’s College Hospital, south London, in 2021, having injured her pancreas slipping on to the handlebars of her bike while cycling.
She later developed sepsis - but with better care, could have survived, an inquest found.
So they’re using the death of a child who was killed due to NHS incompetence to make trans people more likely to receive incompetent care or no care at all. Very cool and normal country.
Is there a big gameshow-style wheel in Downing Street labeled “who to shit on today”?
This was promised back in 2010

Governments have been struggling for 15 years to end the sharing of wards by men and women. Lansley said in August that it would end in all but accident and emergency and intensive care units by the end of this year.
The only reason mixed wards happen is because demand has grown but funding has not. The NHS is being crippled on multiple fronts by chronic lack of resources.
Yeah, which results in transgender patients not seeking necessary medical care. Fuck you, Tories, and fuck you, NHS.
transgender people, whose gender identity differs from their biological sex, may be provided single rooms, where appropriate
Why split things like bathrooms or hospital wards by sex or gender anyway? Any solution that validates trans people while still separating genders is only going to be a bandage solution at best, as it doesn’t solve the underlying issue of sexism “I can’t be in the same room as someone of another sex/gender, that would be terrible!” Like what? Are we trying to accommodate religious idiots instead of trans people or something?
No, it’s to stop putting men in the same wards as women in case the men rape the women or harass them. It’s about protecting women.
No, it’s to make women who assume they will be raped feel safe. Men don’t just rape women because they’re in the same room. They don’t change gender to improve their rape opportunities either.
Oh no no, if I’m even in the same room as a woman alone as a cis male I’m obligated to rape a woman
/s
This shit is so blatantly and openly misandrist, I can’t even imagine growing up as a boy hearing this rhetoric thrown around how you’re just a monster and you can’t prove otherwise, spread by what you would assume at first are kind old ladies on the street.
Trans women aren’t men so that’s irrelevant here.
There is a reason why hospitals have “sex” instead of “gender” on their paperwork because gender is fucking useless now
I always say female anyway and so do all trans women I know. I specify “biological” if asked because I’m not a cyborg either. This isn’t some gotcha you think it is and idc what other dogwhistles you invent. Cope and seethe.
Didn’t ask, don’t care 🤓
Biologically trans women ARE men. You obviously cared somewhere along the line till it comes to something that actually matters
Biologically trans women are trans women, they have very little in common with cis men other than chromosomes, they’re not the same as cis women entirely but have far more in common with them.
The average trans woman has had her T levels nuked for decades, usually below cis women levels and E levels same as a cis woman, their bodies are completely different including their genitalia most of the time.
As far as the actual medical truth of the matter we are not cis men, I don’t have to worry about testicular, prostate or penile cancers but I do have to worry quite a bit more than a cis man about breast cancer for example.

What are you even trying to get across here?? lmao
Pointing out your hypocrisy when it comes to the safety of people, women in this case.
Well they aren’t the same as normal women either, so what are they?
Trans women. It’s in the name innit.
They should be stressing cyber sex with all the infectious diseases in wards these days.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
For example, same-sex accommodation rights, which have existed for years, can and are breached where there is a clinically urgent need to admit and treat a patient and do not extend to areas such as critical care or accident and emergency.
“By putting this in the NHS Constitution, we’re highlighting the importance of balancing the rights and needs of all patients, to make a healthcare system that is faster, simpler and fairer to all.”
“The confusion between ‘sex’ and ‘gender’ in official policies like the NHS Constitution is what has enabled women’s rights to be trampled over in the name of transgender identities,” she said.

How is this not common sense? It’s a matter of woman’s safety, like avoiding a repeat of Isla Bryson

Fair enough
