NHS nurse on my facebook just changed her profile picture to this

I don't really see how that's bringing the profession into disrepute. She can post what she likes.

It’s a stupid meme.

Highly unlikely it reflects her actual practice on the ward.

How very nasty, to anonymously report people to their employers.

Reminiscent of some quite bullying Activist behaviour….

If you are genuinely concerned about this message her and tell her to be mindful of her work SM policy.

Or be direct: post ‘do nurses really make value judgements about their patients? ‘.

What would reporting her achieve? Make you feel good? Ugh.

I think many women are concerned that getting hc workers like this would mean subpar care. If she posted that she'd rather share a bathroom w a tw than a tory, or whatever else unrelated to the profession she's in, that would be completely different.

When you're in the public sector, especially in the health field, it's important to avoid anything that could insinuate that you might do a poorer job with some patients than others.

Me too.

It’s quite frightening though to think that a nurse doesn’t want you on their ward because of your political opinion.

Oh get over yourselves, she is entitled to her opinion. Some of you are demented, comparing it to a child murderer? You sound hysterical.

I wonder if the people who think that this is a reasonable political statement which is fair game for a nurse who wishes to publicly express these kind of preferences would be such freedom of speech champions if the words tory and transwoman were reversed in that sentence?

Probably also responsible for the Tories are scum threads on mumsnet.

LOL if she gets the Tory voters and Terf bigots fumminnn I’m all for it 🤣🤣

That is outrageous. Totally bringing the profession into disrepute and questionable how any person would be treated if not aligned with her believes. Completely wrong in any profession. Report absolutely

As a nurse she is totally unprofessional. As a medical professional you treat who ever comes in. My very best friend had to treat a very famous cult leader murderer when he was dying. She did her job the same as if it had been John Anyone off the street

This'll bring all the secret, midnight gin guzzling Telegraph readers out of the woodwork, lol.

Get a bloody grip, OP.

Delete her off your friends list and then block her if her opinions offend you.

The tories have been shafting the NHS for years!!! Years and years of cuts and underfunding has lead to the NHS at breaking point.

This is exactly why Rishi has made the trans comments regarding hospital wards. He wants the attention to be taken away from the dire financial and understaffed state the NHS is in at the result of 10+ years of austerity.

He doesn’t give a shit about trans or non-trans patients. This is all part of his media circus.

It's not actually controversial that it happened, it's been extensively reported on, it was quite a long, drawn out battle to get the hospital involved to finally admit there was in fact a man in the ward.

Yeah, thats not a thing.

Some people on this site are competely obsessed with trans people, it's scary.

Agree 100%

What’s a “Tory”?

Victim has reported it to the police, which is the appropriate place to report it.

It's a stupid meme, but people are allowed to be stupid on social media.

If it happened.

As per link above 102 FOI requests found zero complaints were raised by fellow patients about transgender women on female wards in UK hospitals.

Don’t report her. Just don’t. Life is shit enough for people at the moment.

This is absolutely batshit.

Of course the NHS is not constructed round the demands of trans people, (it is constructed around the demands of the fat cats t the top).

The NHS covers up everything and anything, not just that one case.

Why would women not feel safe in the hands of someone who has an opinion? Should we talk about what the tories have done in term of poverty? And who are the principal victims of poverty? Women.

Some people on this site are competely obsessed with trans people, it's scary.

This poor woman should be reported and saxked for what? Disagreeing with you? She has the right to want to be in a ward with a trans person rather than a tory if she wants to. We are already having a NHS crisis. Firing nurses for dumb reasons won't help anyone.

SHARE A WARD means share it as a patient, her role as a nurse is irrelevant in the context of this SM post so there is nothing inappropriate (nurses can be patients you know)
she did not say “i’d rather treat” etc

chill out

Well we already know that the NHS is constructed round the demands of trans people. We already know that the NHS will permit the rape of a female patient and cover it up to protect a man playing at dressing up.

Do you have proof of this? How do 'we' know

This

You have absolutely no right to report her... nothing to do with you
