Am sure I've read stuff along these lines before, but this is from today's ( Tues 22 Oct 2019) Sun newspaper:

"GPs and hospitals should quiz every patient on whether they are gay or transgender by the end of next year, MPs say.

The rules would also see OAP care homes asking residents about sexual orientation and gender identity. The recommendations have been made by the Commons' Women & Equality Committee to help improve health care for sexual minorities."

It continues. I would post more but I am on my phone in a greasy spoon, hence reading The Sun.

I will refuse to answer any such questions. This is all part of the normalisation of trans - note the binary option in the first sentence. Seems we have to be trans or gay now. I know that's The Sun's paraphrasing, but it's odious.

Seeing that the NHS believe lesbians can have penises & that their definition of transgender comes down to anyone uncomfortable with gender stereotypes, it’s a meaningless question anyway.

Why, except in very specific circumstances, would a persons sexuality be of any relevance to a GP or hospital?Confused

I can imagine a lot of people will not take kindly to that!
