"NHS doctors are being taught about “gender unicorns” and “genderf---” identities, leaked training has revealed.

... delivered by the Devon Partnership NHS Trust to another trust and leaked to The Telegraph.

The two-hour session displayed a diagram of a “gender unicorn” with sliding scales of male, female and other identities, alongside spectrums of gender expression, sex assigned at birth and physical and emotional attraction.
Later in the class, medics were shown 11 examples of gender expressions, including non-binary, agender, neutrois, demigender, polygender, androgyne and femme-butch.

Attendees were left in visible disbelief when the NHS gender clinic worker leading the session introduced another identity – “genderf-” – which they explained was “when people don’t give a f- about gender”...

Another PowerPoint slide on terminology mentioned “Terf” – trans-exclusionary radical feminist, considered a slur for those critical of trans activism – with the authors JK Rowling and Germaine Greer mentioned by the trainer as examples of this."

At least this preposterous talk wasn't well received and, as one of the attendees says, their EDI steering group has 50% gender critical people.

I know I'm missing the point by a country mile but what the fuck is femme-butch when they/them/zee/zir is at home? Butch lesbians I understand, but if you're a lesbian who is butch you're not going for feminine, surely?

Doctors were told about “kinks” in another slide setting out the “LGBTQ umbrella”, with BDSM also mentioned as a community linked closely to trans.

Another slide urged medics to “affirm” gender identities in order to get the trust of transgender service users.

Affirm made up, kids' gender identities (ransgender service users), so you can gain their trust when you subsequently tell them it's all about BDSM and kink.

fucking hell.

What will it be next, 2 hour conferences on religion with "hellf---" for atheists?

Shocking this damaging pushing of stereotypes in still escalating in certain areas, especially when it's the nhs.
