Sign a pledge?

Did they have to stand and recite the Pledge of Allegiance to Stonewall, whilst saluting the Rainbow Flag before starting their shifts?

You likely have an email about it and MN might well tell you why and if it was a particular term.

Think you have to ask MNHQ - they don't seem to send out emails these days? But do ask as it's important to understand what language or opinions are not allowed and they're usually very clear when they respond.

Sorry, but why on earth was my comment banned?
I was reporting on the fact that NHS MANDATORY EDI training breaks the law in insisting that we need to share our previously single sex loos etc with Transwomen.

Why was that banned? It is critical information.

That article is a blast, all the whinging, all the tropes all the hand wringing.

Good news, the NHS needs to stop wasting money on these ridiculous schemes especially one which forces people to sign a pledge, it is a Health Service not a totalitarian dictatorship. If the NHS are incapable of treating all patients with care and dignity unless they have signed a pledge to do so then there is something seriously fucking wrong with the entire institution.

This.

Oh, what a terrible shame.

The quote at the end, heartwarming

Speaking to the NHS press team, a staff nurse said, “sometimes a baby will have two mums and I’ve noticed that some parents haven’t always felt comfortable being open with all staff members. Once I saw a mum looking at my badge and after that she knew it was okay to just be herself.”

but i imagine it continuing, 'she only saw my badge briefly as i was flying about because we're short staffed so i couldn't speak to her, take her to the loo or give her the water she'd asked for shortly after arriving seven hours ago.'

Did you use a contentious term, maybe?

Possible, but I thought we were allowed to correctly sex people these days?

Also super fast deletion @HelenDamnation1 - this thread has eyes!

Advancing boldly to the rear, I think that's called.

The new heading is: UK Government Secretly Shuts Down NHS Pride Programme I'd have gone with, "UK Govt. restores neutrality to a govt. funded body" but Hunte has to Hunte.

Somewhere on MN (oh R0wantrees, I miss you so much) is a good breakdown of the pledge and the flawed underpinnings.

Surely the TRAs would rather the NHS spent money on healthcare for them rather than shiny badges and lanyards!

Are you implying that now they've eaten one cake they can't have another?

Ereshkigalangcleg · 09/02/2024 13:00

It's a complete waste of money and other resources and a means of hospitals currying favour with Stonewall to push a disputed political ideology. Good news.

Don't worry, they'll all be back on the gravy train and in charge once Labour gets in at the GE.

Good for now, but yes, this seems inevitable unfortunately.

Good

Hopefully the money has been diverted into patient care, reducing waiting lists, restoring crumbling buildings - anything that makes the patient experience better rather than lining the pockets of queer theory lobbyists.
