Second morning session continuing cross examination of Dr Maggie Currer on final day of evidence about to start:

NC Re the 1 line para of letter of 5 Jan re SP being referred to NMC: want to set a few things out. If the NMC does take FtP claim she'd be able to see evidence of
referrals. Or arising from other hearings. So other evid may come to light
MC I understand
NC U seem to be acknow a referral has been made. It's what u were told in a face to face mtg
MC I never thought she had been referred. Pending the Ix results, if found if she'd broken
NMC code of conduct she cld be referred. No idea why I wrote it. At no time thought she had
NC Its a big deal to be referred, tell colleagues this
MC Yes, was no intent in my error typing the email
NC What plausible way to make that error. It doesnt look like an autocorrect
MC I dont know
NC Going to move onto DSDs. KS had a lot to say. U seemed not keen
MC I cldnt say why we're different. My knowledge is from med sch where we learn about DSDs. I relearned for my MRCP exams and Fellowship of Emerg Med. I may have learnt in more detail for my
exams
NC U call them disorders of develop
NC Can u say e'one in here is alive
Yes
NC E'ne in hospital mortuary dead
Yes
NC Isnt hard to spot when s'one alive or dead
No
NC Is socially and clinically salient if s'one is alive or dead [explains further]
Yes
NC All true despite fact that if JR chose to fascinating evid about the moment of death and what is meant by death?
MC Sounds like a philosophical Q
J Answer the Q
MC The diagnosis of death made by an approp qualified death and decided clinically - pulse and signs of life
with a stethoscope. Yes, is a binary state. But defn of death not that clear cut
NC Will try Q again as not answered. Asking u to agree that alive/dead binary is easy to determine and salient, despite the possibility of long discussions in this court
MC Yes, in vast maj of circumstances
NC Despite some v edge cases its still abinary
MC Yes, in life and death
NC Either of the 2 main categories M and F rhat humans and many other things divided on basis of reprod functions. Agree?
MC Is dictionary defn of sex
NC Is about large or small gametes, right?
MC Thats a v simplified defn yes. Theres absence of gametes, or lack of chromosomes or non-responsivness of hormones. So not a 3rd gamete.
NC 2 separate develop pathways
MC Yes if everything working normally and hormones normal
NC Do u share SPs GC belief that u cant change sex
MC Depends on how define sex
NC Assume on the defn we've discussed...
NC Do u share SPs GC belief that u cant change sexromosomes but can change express of gender. It sint just chromosomes is also how these function and
these impact. Producing hormones for 2ary sex characteristics. Sexual characs can be changed by adding hormones later on, but cant change yr chromosomes
NC On basis of reprod function, surgery can change this
Yes
NC If body configured to prod eggs y'll never prod sperm
Yes
NC Removing testicles for cancer, y're still a man
Tes
NC Says opposite re W
MC Removal of gonads doesnt change sex?
MC Not chromosomally
NC Offensive to say sex had changed
MC they'd need hormones to be added, but yes
NC Removal of gonads doesnt change a persons sex. If uncomfortable w ext sex they can have remodelled
Yes
NC Some M have a neovagina produced
MC I beleive so
NC But isnt a vagina
MC It isnt
NC Obv not as any sperm wld be in a dead end w no eggs to fertilise
NC So a neovagina dsnt change a persons sex
MC Not re sexual function defn, no
NC U discussed mosaicism, being v rare and BM transplant. Do u agree is still male after a transplant?
Yes
NC Wont make his penis shrink etc
MC It wld nt change his sex characs
NC He remains M
Yes
NC He'd still have a Y chromosome from his father. Y chromosome Adam from whom all men descended?
MC Dont know enough about it to it comment
NC All those g'dads had mothers and these were all F
MC Yes in order to reproduce
NC So nonsense that BMT impacts whether M or F
MC It doesnt change s'ones sex
NC [reads prev Q and A re other chromosomal anomylies...] Taking the As tog that u were using gender as synonym for Sex
Yes
NC XO Turner Syndrome, XYY is Jacobs. XXY is Klinefleters ( i was wronf before)
MC I think Klein is XYY but need to look
NC [discussion sex specific syndromes Jacob XYY]
MC They present as phenotypically M
NC Klinefelters remain men
MC They present as phen male
NC They are men as have penis, scrotum etc
MC Med defn is karyotype and phenotype. What the genetic material presents in a person
NC These r v rare
MC Yes. 1 in 1000 or 3000 for ?
NC No evid to suggest DU has any of these conditions
Not as far as I know
NC So DU is male
MC Shes chromosomally male. Afaik, she is also in terms of genetalia M but havent examined her
[sound gone]
NC KS agreed bio sex had a clear meaning of whether M or F. Yr talk of mosaicism etc was a cynical attempt to blind trib w science?
No
NC Or worse to align trib w a sophis view of rejecting simple realities understood by lesser ppl like SP
No
NC Thank you. No further Qs
J We'll take a 5 min break here.

P Want to clarify. JR asked u abt Datix. U said u thought u knew who the indivs were. How did u come to that conclusion
MC Datix usually says who it is. The info re who it is is hidden from some
P Can u explain th
self roster
MC They choose the shifts. They need to work a certain no of different shifts. They cant change it once written. they'd need to go to the consultant writer once its set
P U mentioned yr dep clinical lead?
MC Dr Melvin Carew [missed]
P U were asked by JR about R1
saying case by case use of CR by GI
MC I have v little experience. Am aware of convos re other T identified indivs in other depts but not been directly involved
J No other Qs. Any cross?
JR No
J You are released. Thank you for yr time
NC I'd prefer to have SP as the last wit
J So you'd like the CVP witness next?
