The NHS has had unlawful staff and patient policies in place for almost 10 years.
Staff and patients have been failed, harmed and discriminated against as a result.
They've finally published guidance.
Now when will those who allowed this to happen, be held to account?
It is an untruth to say trans identifying males are no risk to women. Statistically from MOJ’s own figures they are a higher threat than not trans identifying males per capita. Of course there are more non trans identifying males. But Lib Dem’s in particular have got to stop lying about there being no risk to these men being allowed into intimate womens spaces. All males need to be accommodated safely in the male estate. Women are not support creatures or Sheilds for non conforming men
This man knows what he’s talking about, yet still he is ignored. Putting their heads in the sand will only last so long. Meantime we waste valuable time.
Imagine you woke up in Britain the day after 9/11 and heard this.
25 years from now you will be living with wide open broken borders.
Your government will know it is letting convicted Islamists and their supporters to enter Britain illegally, but it will carry on regardless.
You will be living with unprecedented mass migration from the Third World despite never voting for it, or ever asking for it.
The Muslim population will increase 151% — or 2.5 million people.
Surveys will show younger Muslims are far more radical than their parents and grandparents.
Between 30 and 40% will express open support for Islamist groups like Hamas.
1 in 8, equivalent to 500,000 Muslims, will show support for Islamic State — a successor to al-Qaeda.
You will spend the next 25 years asking for immigration control and restrictions yet nobody in Westminster will respect you.
Your government will impose all this while having absolutely no strategy at all for integrating newcomers.
Even the word “integration” will be considered “racist” by parts of the British Left.
Your taxpayer-funded regulators will let Islamists hijack the charity sector, and more than a few schools.
Nobody in the established parties will ever develop the courage to ban Muslim Brotherhood, or root out other Islamist networks.
In fact, even worse, your own leaders will impose a definition of “anti-Muslim hostility”, almost certainly influenced by Islamist extremists, to control what YOU can say about Islam in Britain.
At the same time, your own state will roll out a range of Orwellian measures — hate laws, non-crime hate incidents, social media regulation, censorship — to ensure that any opposition to all this is controlled, if not squashed.
Those who ask questions, those who complain, will be denounced as “far right” or “extremist”.
Home Office guidance, official state guidance, will warn that mainstream conservatives and free speech activists are “on a pathway to terrorism”.
There will be more than 80 Sharia courts operating in Britain.
Female genital mutilation will be widespread. And the state will be paying welfare benefits to polygamous families.
Senior Hamas and al-Qaeda supporters will be given taxpayer-funded council flats in the heart of your capital city.
Islamists and their families will live on the welfare state, funded by you. They will call this “welfare Jihad”.
There will be an estimated 20,000-30,000 Islamists living in Britain.
Muslim sectarianism or clan-based voting will be mainstream, enabled by Labour and Green parties that would rather take votes than ask what is the national interest.
The state will not clamp down on marches in support of Hamas but it will aggressively clamp down on protests against mass migration by working class native Brits.
A British government, a Labour government, will be praised twice by Islamists overseas after rewarding Islamist terror and creating new incentives for it by recognising Palestinian statehood as Jewish hostages still lie in tunnels, and launching an economic boycott on Israel — the only democracy in the Middle East.
I could go on.
But just think about all that.
I wonder what you would have thought the day after 9/11.
I see that Stella Creasy is accusing me of leading a pitchfork mob against her, because I opined that she is less likeable and more hypocritical than the wild parakeet she mistook for an escaped pet.
For those who don’t know, Creasy is an elected politician and self-proclaimed ‘old-fashioned feminist’ who is ‘still fighting the patriarchy’. She’s more than once publicly defined herself against me (and my reaction was not to accuse her of leading a mob, even though I was probably averaging a dozen death threats a day at the point when the article below appeared.)
I thought it might be instructive for those of us who don’t share Creasy’s brand of ‘feminism’ to examine her campaigning record, so we can learn to do better.
Creasy wants women admitted to the male-only, exclusive, London-based private members Garrick Club, a change that would benefit rather privileged women like Creasy. Creasy is a mother who wants better accommodations for working mothers, a change that would benefit Creasy. Creasy takes selfies at a men-only Muslim march because that reminds everyone how non-racist she is, which benefits Creasy. Creasy asserts that ‘trans women are women’, which keeps her in good odour with her party’s most aggressive activists, and benefits Creasy.
However, keeping cross-dressing heterosexual men out of nurses’ changing rooms doesn’t benefit Creasy, because Creasy has never had to mop up other people’s piss, blood and vomit at work. Challenging the notion that a male basketball player becomes a girl if he says he is doesn’t benefit Creasy, who has no sporting ambitions. Speaking up against the patriarchy as practised by non-white men doesn’t benefit Creasy, who wants those selfie-opportunities. Criticising an ideological movement that persecutes, harasses and openly threatens women who don’t believe some women have penises wouldn't benefit Creasy, because she's already fully-signed up to self-id, where any man who says he's a woman must be taken at his word.
As the late Gloria Steinem said: ‘“Feminism has never been about getting a job for one woman. It's about making life more fair for women everywhere.’
Creasy the patriarchy-challenger is provably more than happy to cosy up to men and misogynist movements when it suits her public profile and career advancement, no matter the harms those men might be causing less privileged women. By Steinem’s definition, what Stella espouses is not feminism, but Creasyism, and I suggest the emblem for this brave new rights movement should be an indignant parakeet with severely ruffled feathers.

@GoodwinMJ I’d also appreciate it if all doctors and health professionals spoke clear/understandable English. Especially important when dealing with older/hard of hearing patients.
"We will support you"
Darlington nurse and President of the Darlington Nursing Union, Bethany Hutchison, challenges @reformparty_uk leader, @Nigel_Farage , to commit to enforcing the law on single-sex spaces across the NHS and all UK institutions, and to protect nurses from investigation by the Nursing and Midwifery Council for believing in biological reality.
Watch what he had to say...

“Without the FSU, I wouldn’t be where I am now. The FSU have been absolutely fantastic. They’ve backed me all the way.”
Stephen Gray was a police officer who gave 27 years of service to his force. Never did he imagine that one day the police would knock on his own door over a joke he had reposted on Facebook.
The post featured an image of a man in a turban alongside a rasher of bacon, with the caption: “Fun facts about bacon! People who eat bacon have a lower chance of marrying a 9-year-old!”
It was a reference to the Prophet Muhammad’s marriage to Aisha, who was six when they married and nine when the marriage was consummated. It was a joke, but one that sought to highlight the serious issue of child marriage.
In April, Stephen was found guilty of sending a “grossly offensive” communication — a criminal offence under Section 127 of the Communications Act 2003.
He was ordered to pay around £1,100 in fines and costs and now has a criminal record.
This is absolutely crazy. How can this happen in a country that abolished its blasphemy laws in 2008?
We cannot allow the Government, the judiciary and law enforcement to revive Britain’s blasphemy laws for Islam alone via the back door. This is truly one of the most shocking cases we have seen at the FSU.
The Free Speech Union is helping Stephen appeal his conviction and has instructed top criminal silk John Beggs KC to act for him.
With your support, @SpeechUnion hope to pay for Stephen’s legal defence in the Crown Court and meet the costs of any further appeals.

If you’re unhappy about gender ideology taking hold in institutions, media organisations, schools and universities, do one thing today.
Don’t just post about it on here.
Write one email. Send one letter. Make one phone call. Have one conversation.
Tell your MP, school, university, supermarket, newspaper or broadcaster why you object. Make clear that your concerns are rooted in safeguarding, women’s sex-based rights and the welfare of children.
Remind them that it isn’t kind or compassionate to encourage a child struggling with puberty, growing pains or their sexuality to believe they may have been born in the wrong body.
And challenge one of the most powerful falsehoods used to drive gender-affirming care: that children who question their gender are at imminent risk of suicide unless they receive rapid affirmation and medical intervention. Ask for the evidence. Ask whether the risks have been communicated accurately. Ask why such an extraordinary bogus claim was repeated so confidently for so long.
Then ask yourself how dramatically childhood itself has changed.
Children now grow up immersed in social-media algorithms capable of amplifying anxiety, identity crises and fashionable explanations for distress at extraordinary speed. Yet the same institutions that obsess about misinformation seem remarkably reluctant to ask what role this might have played in propagating a phoney emancipatory movement based on a foundational lie.
So spend a little less time shouting into the social-media void and a little more time contacting the institutions that actually make decisions.
Be polite. Be factual. Keep records. Ask questions they have to answer. And keep doing it.
Institutions change when the people running them realise that staying silent is no longer the easiest option.
That's lazy thinking
What do you mean by "cut them some slack"? Being a woman isn't a matter of how you feel about your sex, it's an objective fact,and when you screw with objective definitions in policies and laws you cause all sorts of collateral damage. In my experience a lot of men think something along the lines of "he's cut his dick off therefore he must be serious, and he can't possibly count as a man without a dick, so women can budge up." That's what led us to men in women's sports and changing rooms and toilets and rape crisis centres and domestic violence shelters and prisons. It's what's led us to people being reported to the police for calling men men when those men want to be referred to as women. You can of course cut all the slack you like personally, even though it's intellectually unimpressive, but don't expect anyone else to do so, and don't put any of that slack in law or policy.
Amnesty International has truly lost the plot. It is promoting a so-called “Arday's law” which would to impose state-mandated limits on press coverage of one person. No doubt thru an Orwellian ‘Ministry of Truth.’ Truly totalitarian.
Defund @AmnestyUK.
