More details re the Darlington nurses. I don’t know what to say. This is outrageous. Just fucking outrageous.

I left the NHS over a decade ago and want to say how proud I am of Karen and of thousands of women like Karen who don’t make the world all about them and instead make the world a better, safer place for others. For every lanyard wearer there are many, many Karen’s. These women are the absolute backbone of our NHS and I am thankful for them.

I believe well rotted manure is the best thing for roses.

On another note I’ve just seen that Mr Bates vs the post office was recognised at the BAFTAs. If there is a production company brave enough to make Sandie & Karen vs the NHS it would be a sure fire hit.

There is a stunning and brave woman in this story, but it sure as hell isn’t “Rose”.

More hyped up drama about a transperson in a dressing room/restroom/or anywhere else on the planet. Something few people have probably even ever knowingly experienced and even far fewer having been even mildy inconvenienced by. There aren't that many of them, you know, and most of them just want to be able to get through their lives in some kind of minimal comfort.

Of course, it's highly satisfying for small-minded, nasty people to single out a very small and vulnerable group that has quite enough trials and tribulations as it is (as seen in their very high suicide rate, for example). Yes, do that, amplify any tiny thing they can, shout it from the rooftops, as an excuse to pile on and bully said small, unfortunate, vulnerable group. So smug, so satisfying. So easy. You feel so very superior to them.

It's not a good look, is it.

Edited

coming here spouting this kind of tripe isn't a good look.
Get over yourself.

We know when we are in the presence of a trans person. In this case it was hard to miss due to the holy underpants with his danglies on show.

ETA: got any robust stats on the suicide rates? the TRAs have been told before: stop spouting nonsense.

NotBadConsidering · 11/05/2025 21:15

It’s so utterly offensive, vindictive and stupid. Why on earth would HE want to be in theatre assisting an operation on someone who has made a complaint about him. Anyone sensible wouldn’t want to be anywhere near involved in a case involving a patient subject to a complaint (regardless of the type or who’s at fault) lest you open yourself up for further accusations.

I mean it’s management 101 isn’t it? Persons X and Y are in legal conflict, therefore keep them apart.

To deliberately not keep them apart is both legally stupid and vindictive, purely done to punish her for daring to complain in a non-patient capacity.

So basically Mumsnet is complicit in stopping the sunlight getting through?

Not a good look...

In fairness, the other thread on this topic is STILL standing in AIBU.

Whether it will stay there I don't know, but I do think the thread subject merits staying there to get more awareness because of just how many women it could impact in various ways.

To be fair to MN, for a looong time it was the only place where this sort of thing could be discussed at all, even in code. It was a balancing act for them, and maybe it didn’t always go the way we would have hoped, but let’s face it, FWS met here, so I feel they are owed a bit of leeway.

Agreed. Mumsnet have taken a shit load of flack. Advertisers pulling out. Justine was swatted. Cyber attacks. Data breaches.

I've not always agreed totally with all the decisions but they definitely deserve credit for making sure women could discuss this here.

Indeed.

The idea that orthodox jewish women and muslim women might have a problem with mixed sex facilities is an inconvenice that just gets ignored. Or worse.

Not to mention the fact that half of them claim that black women look like men.

RedToothBrush · 11/05/2025 20:46

MissScarletInTheBallroom · 11/05/2025 20:42

Eh, many of them are pretty racist themselves TBH.

I find it grimly amusing how many very loud leftie types decry racism in everyone and everything and behave with such horror about it, and yet embrace misogyny and sexism so passionately. And very frequently ageism.

Prejudice is fine if it's done by the Right Sort, and oh do they love them some prejudice.

SidewaysOtter · 11/05/2025 19:32

It's very incel, isn't it.

And just plain misogynistic.

It never fails to amaze me how many left wing men who’d pride themselves on their progressive, inclusive and liberal politics really have an issue with women. For them, this is a “legitimate” way to express that: nasty transphobic women, they brought this on themselves and they deserve the opprobrium and hatred heaped down on them.

Totally. I was going to reply to the Reddit post with, incels gonna incel, losers gonna lose.

These are the people that the previous generation would've called the dregs of society.

No wonder they fell over themselves to grab an ideology where they could stick it to women, perve on them and still be classed as 'progressive'.

I've been thinking the same.

Do these morons actually believe the drivel they post? I'm finding it hard to believe anyone could be that stupid. Which leaves us with trans issues just being an excuse to show their hatred of women.

All this abuse of a CSA survivor because she didn't want to get her clothes off in front of a man.

Hideous, dangerous, entitled, vile, woman-hating bellends.

Excellent summary @yourhairiswinterfire

My thanks & encouragement to Karen & to the other nurses fighting for their rights.

Hello misogynist

women are not validation tools or human shields for men with special identities

compelling women to get undressed in front of men as part of their employment is a violation of human rights

I’ve just had a look at the Reddit thread.
They are intensifying their vitriol as they KNOW they are loosing this.
Let them speak indeed- they peak more and more people daily and have dug their own **grave.

**grave of their mad ideology, we know their suicide rates are in line with the men they are.

You couldn't put a cigarette paper between incels and their beliefs and TRAs and theirs.

But still people defend the TRAs and their ideology the self same people who are only too happy to denounce incels and the Andrew Tate's of this world, they can't/won't see that the virulent misogyny and contempt for women is the same just slightly different packaging.

This case is about a man in the female changing room, where he was staring and making creepy comments.

If you think that is in any way acceptable then shame on you.

And the powers that be wonder why there are so many scandals particularly around women and their health needs in the NHS.

It’s why I suggested writing to Streeting and Merron (actual letters not emails). Merron is Parliamentary Undersecretary of State for health. Her special remit includes patient safety and women’s health.

Peregrina · 11/05/2025 19:07

she can’t be scheduled somewhere else as it may hurt her feelings 🤬

Correction:
He can't be scheduled somewhere else as it may hurt his feelings.

If he's so very sensitive, how can he hold down a job in nursing?

Wait, wait - they’re flagging up other trusts that they think trans people wouldn’t be welcome at?

Don’t be ridiculous! 🤣
Theres no place in the NHS that a TIM can’t go!
And be said to be stunning and brave while theyre at it
