This is the booking in form at children's A&E.

It requests the child's preferred pronouns.

It does not request the child's sex.

It's just made me so sad. The NHS is falling apart, the doctors are run off their feet. It is not helpful to obfuscate a child's sex when that child may be seriously unwell.

How many vulnerable young girls with he/him pronouns will have their pregnancy missed because of this?

Is this being pushed by medics? Or managers?

Not just pregnancies, ovarian torsion too. The risk is increased due to testosterone causing the ovaries to swell. Two that I know of seen in the past year where I work, I think both lost the ovaries due to late diagnosis as they were trying to be "stealth" and our software classifies by gender.

They've also spelled Caribbean wrong, and messed up the spacing so it looks like 'Chinese Other' and 'Ethnic Minority' are two distinct groups.

How are they going to capture data on A&E attendance?

I know some doctors buy into this. I really want one of them to explain how, in a medical setting, it’s fine to not record someone’s sex 😡

I’d also like anyone to explain any situation where it makes sense to split people by gender (and what they mean by gender!) - but that’s another thread!

Just more evidence of how trans capture in the NHS harms children - as if the Cass Review wasn't enough.

At a hospital? Fuck this shit, how have doctors let it come to this?
