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

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.

I hope someone reports that nurse. I hope she /he gets sacked because how can women feel safe in the care of someone like that.

oh ffs, there are some really sensitive people here.

So, when your child is taken seriously ill and needs urgent treatment- would you refuse treatment by this doctor?!! Really??!! What exactly do you think they’d do to your child to “trans” them??!!!!
Ridiculous statement. I hope for your child’s sake you can climb down off that high horse if the time ever comes when the best person to treat them turns out to be trans.

If she had made a post about agreeing with the Torys' stance would you be equally as concerned, or no? My guess is the latter!

She's allowed an opinion. She's allowed to hate Tories. God knows I do.

As far as I'm aware, you don't have to declare your political affiliations to the NHS so how exactly are you reaching the conclusion that she doesn't provide equal treatment for all while working?

Seems like you're easily offended.

Its her FB, she can post what she likes

Doctors post things like this all the time about Tories.

Im a nurse and I would share anything with anyone but nothing with a Tory. They are destroying the NHS.

@MissLucyEyelesbarrow
I agree. You could find her post irritating and disagree with it.. or even think it's distasteful.. but to be asking people on an online forum wether you should try and get her fired for it is unhinged. (And no she wouldn't get fired for it, I'm an NHS worker. No one gives a shit unless it's actually covered by hate crime or harassment laws, or its some indicator of actual unprofessional behaviour you undertook whilst at work. My husbands a doctor and he posts politucal stuff regularly!!)

I "wouldn't have been allowed" to post anything like this when I worked in (non nhs) health care
Which is why I never add colleagues as friends, keep all my SM private and don't list where I work.

It's depressing to see some GC women eager to adopt the nastiest tactics of the TRAs. Stirring up trouble with someone's employer because you don't like their political opinions is exactly what happened to Maya, amongst others.

Comparing posting a stupid meme to murdering babies, and suggesting a slippery slope whereby, if we don't denounce every HCP who posts pro-trans comments to their employer, the NHS will - I dunno - be murdering children left, right and centre or something, is the sort of deranged hyperbole that dear India would be proud of.

10 trusts were asked: “How many natal female inpatients complained that a transgender woman inpatient was being cared for in the same ward?

So - can you think of a reason why this might not have picked up a report of rape? Any reason at all? Ffs!

Secondly, can you think of any reason - any reason at all - why people might complain about this anonymously but not in person?

And you still can't actually look at data but which source you 'decide to believe'. That is at least consistent with the rest of your muddled posts. I actually struggle to believe someone is this lacking in critical thinking.

Is this true ? Im a teacher and anti tory posts really are everywhere on my feed. Just because you agree with the tory guidance and disagree with the meme this time doesn't mean you can suddenly report it anymore than you could report a teacher for posting anti Michael Gove memes however many years ago...I'm assuming?

Omg leave her alone. What's honestly wrong with you. Nurses are human beings allowed to have politucal views. As long as she's not advocating violence or spouting hate speech.. just because it's not something you agree with doesn't make it OK to try and harass her about it. Would you do that if she posted a post saying she would never vote labour?

From my link: "The report, published by TransLucent following the submission of 102 Freedom of Information requests to NHS foundation trusts, showed that not a single problem had been raised by fellow patients about transgender women on female wards in UK hospitals."

Personally I'm going to believe the FOI request results over a tabloid.

Anyone who thinks that the NHS reliably log every complaint about anything - let alone an issue they are desperate to ignore - knows nothing about the NHS.

Just going to leave this here

What a fool. When I worked in public service I kept political views and my work totally separate. Everyone can have personal political views but it's not part of your work.

Which bit do you think contravenes NHS/NMC rules?

If it's being pro-trans, I hate to break it to you but there are no parts of the NHS that have fallen harder for Stonewall than the regulators. There is zero chance that the NMC, or NHS England/Scotland/Wales are going to take action against her for expressing a pro-trans view.

If it's being anti-Tory, then her comment (via the meme) is very mild. She isn't saying that she wouldn't give a Tory good care or that they don't deserve NHS care. I see more contentious stuff than this meme from HCPs on social media literally every day. If the NMC went after nurses for this level of political comment, we wouldn't have any left.

The woman had an 8 year old trans kid!! Tells you all you need to know about her.

Delete and feel desperately sorry for her poor poor child.

Why is she picking out trans people? What's that got to do with anything? Isn't the news story the fact that wards are mixed sex, not that some people have gender identities?

Likelihood is she probably is working on wards with tons of Tories

I don't know why a trans person has been singled out, I'd rather share a ward with anyone than a Tory!

Systematically tearing up the NHS because it was introduced by Labour and stops them and their mates profiying from ill health suffered by everyday people. Every Tory voter needs to feel the shame of that.

Yes, but as a nurse you just can’t post stuff like that on SM.

There is no such thing as a central NHS social media policy anyway. Each NHS organisation has their own. It's unlikely that posting this sort of anodyne meme is in breach of it. It might be if she were at Board level, but very unlikely at ward level: restrictions on what employees can say on SM have to be proportionate to their role/potential harms, otherwise an employer risks breaching the HRA and falling foul of the unions.
