And, particularly egregious, as well as nothing to do with the purported topic:..."what does that mean in practice? Trans women on men’s wards, trans men on women’s wards?"...er, yes, that's right. And?

My mum died in A&E last month – and the place was like a war zone | Zoe Williams

Amid the debate about trans people on hospital wards we have lost sight of dignity, respect and the horrifying reality of a health service in meltdown, writes Zoe Williams

She had good points to make about the state of the nhs but decided to couch it like this?! Maybe her boss told her to write about trans issues and this was her response.

Zoe Williams and Owen Jones are the pits. I might think about donating to the Guardian again if they were both sacked.

Just imagine how much time & money the NHS could have devoted to fixing all the inadequate maternity units for the benefit of mothers and babies? Imagine if they'd diverted all that staff time and resources spent on dehumanising them with distorted language, fake science and facts and literally millions of ££ spent on DEI staff & pointless meaningless initiatives. Rinse and repeat for countless other parts of the NHS.

Just imagine what a difference that could have made - if the NHS hadn't been captured by the fact / science denying trans cult.

Yes I thought this was low even for ZW. Using her own mothers death a month ago to shoehorn in her TRA agenda

and yes Zoe we would love to spend more time focusing on other issues in the NHS but we can’t because you and the men you support have spent so much time wrecking single sex provision, mangling language & lying about the equality act that we can’t. In fact I’m sure loads of the ppl in the NHS would like to spend time sorting out the problems but thanks to you & your TRA mates, they’ve had to give hours and hours and hours of time to incessant demands for changes in policy to benefit TW with veiled threats of what will happen if these are not made (I have friends who work in the NHS)

so yeah she can get in the sea

Zoe Williams's inability to understand this issue, despite numerous attempts to explain it to her, is really a testament to how far a private education can take you when you don't have two braincells to rub together.
