Another HUGE win. Many will remember the shocking case at Princess Grace Hospital which cancelled a woman's life-saving operation' after she said she wanted single sex health care.

Teresa Steele has now managed to get them change their policy in all their facilities and to follow the Equality Act. She is going to go after all the other UK healthcare providers and NHS to do the same .

Ms Steele is now working with a newly founded group called Caring About Dignity to support women who “like me have been victimised for asking for same sex care”.

Once again another powerful institution has been humbled by a woman taking a stand for her rights.

Hospital refuses to operate on sex attack victim after she requests all-female care because she fears mixed sex facilities are unsafe for women | Mumsnet

"The patient ...was told by London's Princess Grace Hospital it had to 'protect staff from unacceptable distress'." I can't believe how awful this is...

I do hope that individual was subsequently disciplined.

You'll hope in vain for that.

Fantastic result, well done to her but no way should it have ever come to this, it's fucking appalling that it ever happened and that this brave woman had to fight so hard for basic respect and dignity.

All those pushing this ideology should hang their heads in shame, they should be the ones losing their jobs.

Excellent!

I've forgotten names, but some woman cancelled the operation at very short notice because terf, does anyone know if shes still there? Or was she "let go"

Brilliant. Merry Christmas. I may hit the Baileys.

If they're out, I'll see if the Smiths are in at no.7 😁

Fantastic news.

Well done to her - it was an appalling incident. If I recall correctly it was a deliberate act of intrusion by a trans employee in an attempt to invade her privacy during an intimate procedure.
I do hope that individual was subsequently disciplined.

So many courageous women taking on these institutions and forcing them to offer women legal safe single sex care.

What perseverance. Fantastic!

Fabulous 💪

Glamourreader · 12/12/2023 20:46

Wow, that's a huge victory! What a fantastic woman. The way she was treated was beyond appalling. Actually the way all women and girls are being treated by the NHS at the moment is beyond appalling.

That is heartening. I am sorry though that she had to go through all of that stress.
