New computer system only records newborn "gender identity"

Honestly,my Dd1's friend was diagnosed with sepsis last week. There was no bed for her,she was placed in a corridor. Then there were no antibiotics,so she had to be moved elsewhere to where there were. She ended up discharging herself as she had no faith in actually getting onto a ward or the right treatment.

One automatically thinks,"oh the NHS is so underfunded,they need more money." Then you read of the eye watering sums of money spent on this totally inaccurate computer system that apparently no one had checked before it went live. No,the NHS does not need more money,it needs to spend the money it has more wisely on actual health care,not dodgy ideology.

Jenny Gamble, professor of midwifery at Coventry University, said: 'Sex is not assigned at birth, that is delusional. A baby cannot have a gender identity, because it's a baby. Gender identity is important later in life but it never erases the importance of sex.'

Sort of. But it's missing a key point. I've added a few words to help with clarification.

Jenny Gamble, professor of midwifery at Coventry University, said: 'Sex is not assigned at birth, that is delusional. A baby cannot have a gender identity, because it's a baby. Gender identity is important later in life to any people who believe that we all have a gender identity, but it never erases the importance of sex.'

The compelled belief that everyone has a gender identity has no place in health care as a fact. If someone believes in it, that's OK. It can be recorded as additional information, the same as religious beliefs are. But their gender (identity) has no bearing on their actual sex.

How is there a single adult who thinks a baby has the capacity to form an identifiable, coherent identity?

The only way to deal with this is for everyone to give stupid answers like "my child hasn't decided what their gender identity is yet" or "my child is being raised as nonbinary until they are 7 and then I will let them decide" or "demifluidpixiegender" to fuck with the system until they decide it's too much hassle and just go back to asking for biological sex instead.

Not one person in that chain of sign off said no.

The NHS is so fucked.

I introduce to you my frost-gendered demiboi fluid infant.

Quite how that information is going to be of any use to anyone at all, particularly the infant, or serve any purpose beyond my enjoyment of extending my exciting identity onto a child I'm not sure.

Or could it be another forced attempt to turn sex into gender on paper and compel everyone to participate in this niche belief? You know, against the articles of the Human Rights Act?

Exactly.

Someone wrote it, then more people approved it, then it went through other layers until someone bought it, and read it, and approved it and it went through more layers there.

In two separate, famous hospitals.

Nice try, fellas.

I totally disagree with Prof Jenny Gamble that 'gender identity' is important in later life. I've got through almost 70 years without one.

At least they say they are going to rectify this nonsense. I just hope the whistle-blowing midwives go to the press if they don't.

No way is that a mistake. No way.

This will have been tested and signed off by countless people in the NHS. None of who appear to know that babies don't have a gender identity. Scary.
