NHS Chiefs Forced to Rip Up Trans Guidance

NHS chiefs have been forced to rip up their pro-trans guidance after it was rendered illegal by the Supreme Court ruling, as Health Secretary Wes Streeting says he wants new guidance in place by the summer. The Telegraph has more.

The NHS Confederation, which represents trusts, has quietly withdrawn guidance telling hospitals that they should allow trans people to use their chosen toilets and changing rooms.

The group told the Telegraph it had taken the guide down from its website because it had become “dated” since the Supreme Court judgment that the word sex in the Equality Act means biological sex.

Reached in April, the decision means trans women, who were born male, should use men’s toilets and changing rooms, contradicting the previous stance of a string of public sector organisations.

The confederation’s advice is now being updated in line with the Supreme Court ruling and new guidance from the Equality and Human Rights Commission, and will be published later.

On Thursday night, women’s rights charities demanded that the confederation apologise for the guidance, which they claimed may have led to unfair decisions, such as the case of Darlington nurses who were disciplined for demanding single-sex facilities.

They said that rather than deleting the guidance, the confederation should actively inform all trusts that it was now null and void.

Maya Forstater, the Chief Executive of Sex Matters, said: “Its guidance encouraged a hostile, humiliating and unsafe environment for NHS workers and patients. It was published with much fanfare but withdrawn by stealth.

“NHS Confederation should now apologise publicly for undermining women’s rights and the culture of care. It should also undertake to contact all NHS trusts, telling them that its guidance was flawed and that policies based on it should now be torn up.”

A growing number of public bodies are changing their guidance in light of the Supreme Court judgment, including the Football Association, which has said trans women would be banned from women’s sport.

However, neither NHS England nor the NHS Confederation have put forward new guidance.

Wes Streeting, the Health Secretary, has said he wants the new guidance in place by the summer.

-2025 is apparently the year

I am told that the ‘modern world’ is based on ‘science’.

So some mentally ill confused pervert who believes his testes are ovaries can bounce into the female toilets, change rooms, showers….and this is supported by…the same worthies who bring to us Rona and plandemics, endless wars, the climate con, and that lobotomies were safe and effective.

June is mentally-ill exhaustion month. Any normal person has had enough of this bullshit including the attendant child abuse, sexual assaults and deconstruction of normalcy. FO already.

I was thinking the exact same thing.

This shit is only going to end when we make it end.

Mass civil disobedience every day, anti pride banbers, pro Israel banners, anti immigration banners, anti Islam banners, anti starmer banners etc fill the streets with tractors

I did notice that it seems to be toned down somewhat when compared to previous years. My employer acknowledged “Pride Month” on the company intranet, but has not changed the logo colours this year.

trans women, who were born male”

Dear Telegraph. There’s no such thing as a “trans woman”. There are men who claim to be women/pretend to be women. You are not “born male” – you are “conceived male”. Even then, “conceived male” hints that this could change later. It can’t. A man is a man, from start to finish.

It sure does. Women and kids specifically. But there’s at least one man on here who would disagree with you because he has a hard time accepting the fact that women are legitimate victims of anything. If anybody can look at this trans agenda nonsense and not see how it’s a direct attack on women’s rights, whilst explaining away the evidence that supports this as ”media distortion”, then they’re a denialist, plain and simple. A denialist that also hates women.

Meanwhile, I wonder how all of this ‘changing sex’ lark is affecting crime stats. There must surely be an uptick in female paedos and sex pests these days. At least this one was sent down, but there’s no mention of whether they went to a male or female prison;

”A paedophile was found with a folder of animated images depicting child sex abuse despite being made subject to a court order for the same offence. She also breached an order after using a different name to access social media accounts, after she had transitioned.”

Why on Earth is he called ‘she’ in that article numerous times? He isn’t a woman, he isn’t female, he is a man and he is male!

Seriously, WTH is this and how many more made-up nonsense words are we going to be expected to accept courtesy of this idiotic and dangerous agenda? ”Despite thousands of years of diverse gender expression, many trans and non-binary people still grapple with the impact of cisnormativity: the belief that cisgender people (people whose gender matches the body they were born with) are ‘normal’ or ‘right’, while others are not. The pressure to conform to this expectation can significantly affect mental health: societal messaging around gender being determined by biology, for example, may affect someone’s ability to feel safe and happy as themselves. At a time when trans people are also being asked to ”accept perceived reduced rights” this is more important than ever. This topic is explored in a new study by a team at Deakin University, which examines the emotional lives of transgender and gender diverse people, and how they are supported or disrupted by different kinds of messaging. The researchers propose several changes to better support trans people’s emotional wellbeing: promoting diverse media representation, pushing for changes in healthcare and law to support autonomy and safety, providing affirming resources to families to meet attachment needs, and supporting peer connections to enhance feelings… Read more »

“Trans” lobby loonies: “Don’t stereotype people – it’s fascistic to try and put people in boxes and expect them to conform to traditional roles/behaviour based on their sex, you should let them be themselves”. Also “trans” lobby loonies: “If you’re a tomboyish girl or an effeminate boy, you should irrevocably mutilate yourself physically and chemically, so that you physically resemble the sex that your behaviour is most typical of”.

Yes, you too can thrive as your authentically mentally ill self, so long as you can get everybody around you to affirm your delusions as reality and normalize your public displays of psychotic behaviour. I wonder how parents explain this to their kids when they’re out and about;

Wikipedia”NHS Confederation membership includes acute trusts, ambulance trusts, community health service providers, foundation trusts, mental health providers, and clinical commissioning groups, and some independent and voluntary sector healthcare organisations that deliver services within the NHS.[6]
It claims to represent the NHS as a whole and has a number of networks to support its members in areas of specific concern to their part of the healthcare system. These include:”

They are not the NHS they are a body made up of NHS management etc.
Where are the non managerial clinicians ,nurses and support staff.
This is what’s wrong with the NHS
