Let me tell you what the thread says, in plain language Stonewall UK would die before using:

There are men who know they are men, and men who believe they are women. They need the same kind of medical screening and care.

Similarly, there are women who know they are women, and women who believe they are men, and they need the same kind of medical care, things like breast exams and cervical cancer screenings.

But Britain's #NHS has chosen to screw the situation up, by lying in the medical records.

The men who believe they are women have their records marked 'F'-for-female under sex. So they get reminders to have their non-existent cervices checked for cancer, while NOT having their very real prostrates checked. This makes them feel good, but kills some of them.

Similarly, the women who believe they are men get reminded to come in for a prostrate prod, but not a cervical exam. Again, more deaths.

All this could easily be avoided by actually marking patient records male or female in accordance with biological reality. That won't happen.

Stonewall UK is instead determined that medical records continue to lie about some people's sex. Which endangers all of them, and kills some. To mark the records accurately would disturb some people's fantasies about themselves.

Now, this attitude isn't universal. An online acquaintance of mine is trans, and she told me she damn well wants her doctor to treat her as the male she is for purposes of medical care.

But some people would rather die than face the reality that their "gender" =/= their sex.

So Stonewall wants the #NHS to engage in #DoubleThink, and come up with some plan to remind trans people to get the care they need while still pretending they are of the opposite sex. What they need are The Magic Words®.

Somehow, somewhere, there must exist The Magic Words that will persuade a trans "man" to get "his" breasts and cervix and other plumbing checked out properly without having "him" mix with those awful female people, who are known to have #cooties.

Somehow, someway, it must be possible to give a woman proper medical care while pretending she is a he.

The same is true for the trans women. Must somehow get the message to them that they need to have their dicks and balls examined occasionally, while

still going along with their fantasy of being female.

Being a nasty bastard, I find this endlessly funny. 'Well sure I'm dying of a cancer that could have been treated if caught in time, but at least nobody ever misgendered me!' 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I'll let you in on a secret. The Magic Words don't exist. There is no way to give people health care that is biologically appropriate to their sex while pretending they are "really" of the opposite sex.

Too bad. #ThinkOfItAsEvolutionInAction.
