I've got nothing. Seriously.

I cannot believe this was an article in the NYT. It's incredulous.

The guy is clearly demented. And yet it's written sympathetically.

I’m probably giving the NYT too much credit but I did wonder if they were giving him enough rope to hang himself here.

Apparently high oestrogen levels in men can cause prostate cancer and cancer of the male breast. It is a very disturbed individual that wants to conceal something so fundamental to their medical safety as their sex.

Well we know they're disturbed already..

i have long said that if someone has a transgender identity, their medical (and other records) should show sex and then if necessary their "gender".

That way they can always receive appropriate medical care, and for things like where council tax is spent parts of the budget can be allocated to things transgender people need. And we can get all the accurate crime stats about crimes against them and what type. Good, accurate stats.

Trans women’s pants cannot catch fire as they already caught fire and burned to a crisp years back.

I don’t understand how they were able to take a phone into theatre and not just because when I had a procedure done on an eyelid a few years ago I was told to take my pants off in case I went on fire during the surgery that was done by local anaesthetic. I still laugh about it.

Seems strange that a persons belongings bag would be taken into a sterile operating dept . I'v never seen that in 30 yrs as nurse. I really find it difficult to believe this pt recorded in theatre.
It would be obvious and relevant that this pt was male and that the medical team discussed that ,surely?

I'm surprised his bag was in the theatre. Wouldn't it potentially be a source of infection. Also he'd be catheterised, possibly post GA but before surgery. I'm no medic but I suspect men and women have different catheters.

Whoever did his FFS should give him his money back. Also, he was asked to take a pregnancy test. He should be concerned that his true sex is known and he's getting the medications and dosages appropriate for a man. If he's inappropriately or under medicated because his records state he's female he could die. He should just tell himself that M is ma'am and F is fella.

Exactly like the mentions of prostate cancer in the article.

In the bag for his belongings that the hospital provided him with.

I imagine it's pretty difficult for a surgeon to not notice a cock and balls when he's got an instrument up their arse. 🤷‍♀️

Knowledge is indeed power, mate.

The knowledge that you are male, and should be treated as such when undergoing lifesaving surgery.

What you think it's ok to entrap staff because they refer to you in the correct sex when performing an operation?

I think surgeons have a right to know what type of body they're operating on. Biology gets really important when open people up.

You also have to be a vindictive piece of work to do this to people who are literally trying to save your life.

Why would you want to treat a trans patient if this was the risk? Honestly there's a void between ears going on here.

SalmonOnFinnCrisp · 10/02/2026 15:51

absolutely bizarre to want to exert that level of control....
