Please sign into CSP and look at the new iCSP discussion "Stonewall and the CSP"

A great thread beginning and agreement that stonewall are problematic and women's rights are being overlapped by male rights

Then a HUGE ESSAY by a TRA

I'm not either, but best of luck. And thanks for the proforma, I wonder if it would make a difference if we all sent it to the CEO? I don't know if he has a full grasp of the issue, but then I've never met him. Maybe you can corner him at the conference @VenusEnvyXX!!

Are any of you going to conference in Newport? I'm presenting a paper on Friday with a colleague on pelvic floor impacts of cross sex hormones. We are keen to meet up with members to chat about sex/gender issues - I summarised them here: belonging, boundaries, bias substack.

We'll find somewhere to meet to chat once we are at Newport - a Heretic's Corner, no doubt.

Belonging, Boundaries and Bias

Why healthcare governing bodies, like the CSP, need a member-led review on sex and gender

Was that posted on Twitter? And the person they are trying to support is a member?

Show quote history

No, on Instagram and the person they want to support doesn't appear to be a member.

The member who runs the account has posted on her/his/their personal account and tagged the network, so it means it appears in the network's posts. So it wasnt "officially" posted by the network but the person who runs th account should know better.

The account has long been taken over by the T in LGBT anyway. International Non-Binary Day, anyone?

I really don’t think it’s appropriate for a union or employer at all.

I doubt they are taking any notice when they allow their LGBT network to post fundraisers for women wanting to remove their perfectly healthy breasts...

I think none of us could forsee it. I just wish our ’union’ and employers would wind their necks in and remember what professionalism used to be. Fair, impartial, working for their members or staff. Whether staff have ‘gender feels’ or don’t believe in gender because it’s irrelevant. Sex is the thing that matters!

About 15 years ago, I read a story in the CSP magazine about a trans-identifying female physio.

She was very prescriptive about how other people had to address her and speak about her, and the things management and colleagues and patients had to do to avoid offending transpeople.

It just seemed like a mildly unusual lifestyle at the time. I had no inkling of what was coming!

And police are not to breach their duty of impartiality by aligning themselves with a political side by attending pride marches. As we have said should be the case with all professions and unions.

Police chiefs say no uniformed officers to take part in Pride march

Police officers in uniform will not take part in a Pride event in Scotland's biggest city on Saturday following a landmark High Court judgment.

I hope the CSP are taking note. I am heartened by Sandy Peggie’s bravery and hope she comes out on top in the ongoing tribunal. Cannot believe how badly NHS Fife are handling it with the 4 times amended press statement released during the actual tribunal!

This from Lucy Hunter Blackburn looks like good advice - screenshot and archive reactions which are not legally based.

The person in that interview sounded utterly self-obsessed and seemed unaware that maybe colleagues were more interested in patient care than enquiring about what she/he/they liked to do at the weekend!

Why are CSP pandering to these attention seekers?

I still can't get over the Frontline article about a clearly female physio that referred to her and "they" and "he", sometimes in the same paragraph!

Show quote history

That's the one that truly finished me with Frontline. Dreadful writing, I'm not even going to call it journalism.
