This man, Mathew Hulbert, sat at the same table as me, @XXFemaleOnly and an A&E consultant at a NHS EDI consultation meeting. He introduced himself by way of a short lecture about transphobia. He became very upset. We were a mix of NHS staff and members of the public who had skin

2. in the game: most of us sex-realists. The A&E consultant talked about wasting 40 minutes trying to find the cause of acute pain for a patient he was told was male: had he been told the truth, he would have identified and treated her dangerous condition much sooner. Mathew’s

Extraordinary end to today’s tribunal proceedings - Naomi Cunningham stated “There has been a development today, a surprising statement by NHS Fife - I would be glad to take some instruction as a matter of urgency today … no, it can’t wait until Monday”.
After a short break, 2. [Charlotte Elves] We will address you very briefly - whether Tribunal makes an order to manage the situation … this conduct .. it may be that the respondent may wish to consider its position. I probably don’t need to remind the Tribunal that proceedings are taking place in

I’ve worked in the NHS for 27 years. It is founded on universal ethics of equality+ beneficence. But I was contacted by a whistleblower whose experience suggests our principles are no longer fixed but are being destroyed by gender ideology, that we are at a new frontier of harm. 2. This fight is not only about women’s rights in healthcare, but about all patients rights.
“Bill” worked on a renal unit, including transplantation. Newly transplanted patients come from ITU into a sealed sideroom, to reduce risk of infection. These patients are sick and at

At an NHS patient consultation meeting about its workforce EDI Plan, almost all of us were sex realists - a joy. Admonished for bringing up gender so often, we explained the escalating impact of sex deception on women. There were finally spontaneous impassioned speeches from 2. brilliant women:
“Men’s wishes are used to oppress women like me, who know that sex is real!
“I don’t feel “included,” labelled a bigot for wanting a female carer!”
A senior A&E doctor emphasised that patient safety supersedes EDI - yet is compromised by falsification of

Julie Bindel is talking about a rapist acquitted after deception and date rape in halls of residence because he was trans identified. It was insisted in court that he was a lesbian, that the victim, a student, called him she. A “woman” with a raping penis. State sanctioned rape. Meanwhile, drumming overhead for the last hour; chanting, shouting, fake sirens; people waiting outside for us to come out, protesting that lesbians are meeting without men present. They have come to violate our space and “teach” us a lesson in compliance.

@marstrina @bindelj “Why this?”
Did you expect me to actively fight against FGM, femicide, child marriage, trafficking, while looking after all my patients, sick parents and my son as a single parent? I had no ivory tower from which to petition the world’s patriarchy, little energy left to @marstrina @bindelj write articles, after days on my ward deep in the striving and despair of broken people; and my hands prefer to swab their bodily fluids than wield a pen. Someone has to, yes? A hospital full of journalists would fail to meet people’s needs. I repudiate your attempt to shame me

@Jenmccarey @hen10freeman @GrimDay70 @Tiff_Weather @PaulJSweeney @MonicaLennon7 @CMochan @GlasgowPam @LabourMercedes I’ll refer you to to the Health and Care Act 2022, which sets out Fundamental Standards “below which care must never fall”.
person-centred care; dignity, respect and privacy: safety: safeguarding from abuse: duty of candour. These were written in response to the Francis Report @Jenmccarey @hen10freeman @GrimDay70 @Tiff_Weather @PaulJSweeney @MonicaLennon7 @CMochan @GlasgowPam @LabourMercedes into the Mid-Staffs scandal. There are many examples of men abusing disabled women in healthcare; in my own Trust our Safeguarding Head confirms it is a regular occurrence, showed me the 2022 report. It is not just safety but privacy and dignity that must be patients’ choice. 3.
