Dr Kamaruddin was awarded "Best Member" by @rcgp in 2019 for the inspiring story of personal experience #RCGPCouncil Image
East One Surgery, where the doctor is a partner has only recently gone from "needs improvement" to "good"

Patients on Google reviews give 2.1 out of 5

google.com/maps/place/Eas…

Were patients considered in this award? Image
Patients concerns are mainly with the communication of reception staff (rude and unprofessional comes up a lot).

No mention of Dr Kamaruddin's transition.

This patient doesn't seem to have noticed. Image
Still, some people give it 5 stars.... 🤨 ImageImage
I hope patient experience and consent, and not just inspiring personal stories, are put more into focus by @TheBMA @gmcuk @rcgp @NHSuk @theRCN @RCObsGyn in working out policies for protecting trans staff from discrimination, and patients human rights.

Another thing that has been removed from Stonewall's website this year is the page defending the Diversity Champions scheme, and covering my case.

web.archive.org/web/2024120923…
It said that Stonewall's guidance was in line with the Equality Act 🤨 Image
The government's @oeogovuk has recently admitted it is a clear misinterpretation of the law to suggest that the Equality Act requires allowing people to access opposite sex facilities because they have the protected characteristic of "gender reassignment"

New trans policies are being developed by @cabinetofficeuk @DCMS @SciTechgovuk and has settled a gender critical claim for 100k.

@SexMattersOrg looks at the bad policies
In 2016 this guidance by @agendergovuk was published on gov.uk

"This guide gives general advice to civil servants about transsexualism and gender reassignment issues relevant to Civil Service employees."

It is full self-ID

web.archive.org/web/2016040705… Image
Its a shocking document which makes wild claims

- 50% of the transsexual population died by their own hands by the age of 30.
- there could be between 7,800 and 17,880 “intersex” civil servants

15 months after calling me in for questioning about a tweet, and having sat on the CPS decision that there was no crime for 2 months, the Met bothered to call me up at 7pm this evening to tell me, and then put out this press statement. 🙄

#TheProcessIsThePunishment Image
Here is the tweet over which they wasted their time, my time, my lawyers time and taxpayers' money.
Thanks to @DanielBerke1 for patiently chasing the Met for the past 15 months & @SarahvAtDSC for hand holding.

How much bullying can the police get away with against people who can't stand up for themself or get a media story.

Minister for Women & Equalities says "We are proud of the EqAct & the rights & protections it affords women. The Govt does not plan to amend legal definitions in the act.”

Hundreds of women are going to Parliament on Wednesday to ask the govt to rethink.

You can be proud of the Equality Act and still be vigilant about women's rights, and those who seek to deny them.

In 1897, a proposal was put before Cambridge University’s Senate to grant full degrees to female graduates. Male students responded with outrage.

An effigy of a woman on a bicycle was suspended out of the window of a building opposite the Senate.

It took 22 more years before 1919 the Sex Disqualification (Removal) Act was passed permitting women to become join professions and to become lawyers and civil servants and to sit on juries.

But the institutions resisted. Image

There is new statutory safeguarding guidance out for schools in England which tells them to consider risks and harms to gender questioning children as part of safeguarding.

When this was out for consultation earlier in the year Adam Jepsen, Chief Health and Sex Education Officer of the Family Planning Association said that the government must withdraw it.

"These changes do not support trans children" he argued.

Who is Adam Jepson and what is the Family Planning Association? 🤨

Mr Jepson has lots of commercial experience but none in health or education.

Given that contraception advice is mainly a by-women-for-women thing he seems an odd choice.

What do we know about Imane Khelif & Lin Yu Ting who won Olympic gold medals in women's boxing?

1) We know there is a condition called 5-ARD which leads to males being born with undescended testes and female looking genitals.

The 3 women's medal winners at Rio in 800m had it. Image
World Athletics adopted DSD regulations after that.

We know a lot about this because Caster Semenya challenged @WorldAthletics to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.

The court said the regulations are proportionate to maintain fairness for women.

We know that some people disagree.

@Nike for example says Semenya is a victim of discrimination and should have the "right to run" against women.
