You’ve asked me several questions on this thread and accused me of avoiding answering, so here goes.

I believe a woman is a human being who belongs to the sex class that produces large gametes. It’s irrelevant whether or not her gametes have ever been fertilised, whether or not she’s carried a baby to term, irrelevant if she was born with a rare difference of sexual development that makes neither of the above possible, or if she’s aged beyond being able to produce viable eggs. She is a woman and just as much a woman as the others.

I don’t believe a woman is more or less of a woman for having sex with men, women, both or not wanting sex at all. I don’t think a woman is more or less of a woman for having a buzz cut and liking suits and ties, or wearing stilettos and mini dresses, for being black, white or brown, for being six feet tall or a little person, for being kind or cruel, angry or sad, loud or retiring. She isn't more of a woman for featuring in Playboy or being a surrendered wife, nor less of a woman for designing space rockets or taking up boxing. What makes her a woman is the fact of being born in a body that, assuming nothing has gone wrong in her physical development (which, as stated above, still doesn't stop her being a woman), is geared towards producing eggs as opposed to sperm, towards bearing as opposed to begetting children, and irrespective of whether she's done either of those things, or ever wants to.

Womanhood isn't a mystical state of being, nor is it measured by how well one apes sex stereotypes. We are not the creatures either porn or the Bible tell you we are. Femaleness is not, as trans woman Andrea Chu Long wrote, ‘an open mouth, an expectant asshole, blank, blank eyes,’ nor are we God’s afterthought, sprung from Adam’s rib.

Women are provably subject to certain experiences because of our female bodies, including different forms of oppression, depending on the cultures in which we live. When trans activists say 'I thought you didn't want to be defined by your biology,' it’s a feeble and transparent attempt at linguistic sleight of hand. Women don't want to be limited, exploited, punished, or subject to other unjust treatment because of their biology, but our being female is indeed defined by our biology. It's one material fact about us, like having freckles or disliking beetroot, neither of which are representative of our entire beings, either. Women have billions of different personalities and life stories, which have nothing to do with our bodies, although we are likely to have had experiences men don't and can't, because we belong to our sex class.

Some people feel strongly that they should have been, or wish to be seen as, the sex class into which they weren't born. Gender dysphoria is a real and very painful condition and I feel nothing but sympathy for anyone who suffers from it. I want them to be free to dress and present themselves however they like and I want them to have exactly the same rights as every other citizen regarding housing, employment and personal safety. I do not, however, believe that surgeries and cross-sex hormones literally turn a person into the opposite sex, nor do I believe in the idea that each of us has a nebulous ‘gender identity’ that may or might not match our sexed bodies. I believe the ideology that preaches those tenets has caused, and continues to cause, very real harm to vulnerable people.

I am strongly against women's and girls' rights and protections being dismantled to accommodate trans-identified men, for the very simple reason that no study has ever demonstrated that trans-identified men don't have exactly the same pattern of criminality as other men, and because, however they identify, men retain their advantages of speed and strength. In other words, I think the safety and rights of girls and women are more important than those men's desire for validation.

I sincerely hope that answers your questions. You may still disagree, but as I hope this shows, I’m more than happy to have this debate.

"Large-scale problems do not require large scale solutions; they require small-scale solutions within a large scale framework" (David Fleming). This relationship between small & large-scale change is a fundamental issue for leaders of change. The @Centre4SysInnov describes a maturing approach to address this:
1. Confetti: multiple, single, focussed projects which slice up the complex reality of people’s lives & are unlikely to create large-scale impact across a system.
2. Spaghetti: a coherence between projects all working towards the same goal that generates potential for multiplication & amplifications of impact.
3: Meatballs & sauce: clusters of ingredients that together create something that is bigger (more tasty!) than these individual parts. The "sauce" keeps projects together so they can amplify, multiply & reinforce each other in practice.

But that still means that only about 30% of the total number of consultants have voted to continue strike action… is that really a mandate?

[Helen Bevan @HelenBevan]

"Uniqueness bias". Most leaders tend to view their organisation as being unique. Yes, all organisations will be able to find something that makes them different from others, but leaders tend to exaggerate how special what they do is. In fact, every organisation is special. This "uniqueness bias" makes us think we have little to learn from other organisations.
So, the big challenge for any leader is to first overcome our own uniqueness bias. And then seek to learn from others—with an open mind: https://t.co/EJtpOtFmGB. By @joost_minnaar @corp_rebels. Graphic: @FerraroRoberto.

@UKGastroDr Patients do not care about job titles, they are all so confusing! They need to see the right person with the right skills so that decisions and plans can be made for them to make progress!! I speak as a patient and a nurse who has come out of retirement.

[Nigel Edwards @nedwards_1]

My increasing obsession that admin is part of the solution demonstrated by @LNWH_NHS sending an op appointment to my mother on 29 December for 2 Jan which, of course, arrived 2 days after the appointment. No one answers the phone. It takes some effort to make a system so poor.

[Helen Bevan @HelenBevan]

I wanted the first piece that I posted in 2024 to be hopeful, practical & profound. So I chose @adamkahane 's recent article on radical collaboration. Radical collaboration is about working together with diverse others from across the system in a way that fundamentally transforms that system. It not only focuses on the good & harmony of the whole, but also embraces conflict & power issues. We need radical collaboration as system leaders to create the relational conditions (affordances) for the big changes ahead: https://t.co/J6FTWEVEJg

How do we fix the NHS?

All this week on the Sky News Daily podcast, @skysarahjane and former chief exec of NHS England Sir @DavidNichols0n examine the ways that could answer that very question.

It’s a shame @NHSEngland has such little interest and investment in hospital nutrition

Imaging being in hospital for a long period of time and being served this daily.

I really feel for our patients 😭
