“In May 2025, Lisa* was booked in for surgery to have her testes removed due to chronic pain. But a week before the operation was going to take place, the hospital called to say the surgery was cancelled.

The hospital claimed they couldn’t operate because the surgery was classed as gender-affirming care. But surgery for pain has nothing to do with gender-affirming care, and refusing to treat someone just because of their gender identity is discrimination.”

We’re suing a hospital for trans discrimination | Good Law Project

A hospital refused surgery to a woman in pain, just because she’s trans – so we’re taking them to court

Deciding not to operate has clearly upset the tras. Obviously a testy call.

Bah-dum-tish!

All likely to go a bit ballistic if the fox botherer gets involved.

On balance I hope this one isn't going to be live tweeted. The state of someone's balls is not something the country needs to know about.

And find a hobby. Thats what MIL was told before she was eventually diagnosed with a serious illness.

This is reminding me of the Eunuch lot. Some of them go to extreme lengths to force the NHS to remove genitals.

How's the crowd funder going ? Has Sophie Molly supported it?

In any event, I am sure this will soon be added to the Good Law Projects litany of failure.

Whatever the truth it will come out in Court...

If it ever does. I have my doubts.

@SexRealistic I see what you did there 😂

I understand surgery is cancelled sometimes at short notice what I don’t understand is why it was scheduled at all. At least one medical professional sat with this man and said yes surgery is the option.

was it someone sympathetic to his gender issues who was trying to help him circumvent the waiting lists? Or did he really need the surgery?

it all seems very strange to me

It could be that he had a sore ball.

The NHS could remove it and replace it with a fake ball, scrotum intact,

When he gets the pre op consult he says I want it al off, balls and sack.

They say oh well that’s gender affirming surgery so not our ball bag.

I can see something like that happening.

Whatever the truth it will come out in Court and Jolyon will lose.

mrshoho · 30/05/2026 16:07

I'm sure it will become clearer once the trial gets underway. I'm sure the surgeon who initially scheduled the surgery will give evidence.

Tallisker · 30/05/2026 14:11

I had two days’ notice of a surgery as the person who was scheduled in that slot had not passed the pre-surgery assessment so wasn’t cleared for surgery. Happens all the time, apparently. You get a date for surgery, then you don’t get clearance for it so it is cancelled/slot used for someone else.

No way is this fair. I've heard in incredible detail about women's surgery at the office. Some people have no filter and it seems pretty split across the sexes.

About Lisa's testicles there isn't really any way of knowing, I guess the medical detail will come out at trial. He could have torsion, there's no detail that I've seen about it.

Show quote history

Testicular surgery for torsion is a medical emergency- there is no way Lisa had testicular torsion.

Chrysanthemum5 · 30/05/2026 12:03

The thing I don’t understand is that it got far enough for surgery to be scheduled. So did a consultant/specialist agree there was sufficient reason for the operation? Did tests prove the pain existed and was severe enough for this?

if that happened I can see why the patient would be annoyed.

although as others have said - having your pain dismissed is a very womanly experience.

Never in my life and acquaintance with lots of men and their health issues have I come across any that have needed their balks chopped off for “chronic pain”. Even the links you posted, talk about a singular teste being removed, not both. Yet colour me shocked the one and only time I hear about someone needing it done it happens to be a man who identifies as a woman. If this turns out to be anything other than someone trying to get so called gender affirming surgery on the sly I’ll be very surprised. He can go private if he’s that bothered. Why not crowdfund for that?

Show quote history

Quite. I also wonder if, given the severe life-long, irreversible consequences of having both testes removed, the NHS might just remove one first to see how that affects the pain levels. Piscean smell to the whole story.

Aw bless Lisa. Are you sure it isn’t all in your mind dear? First things first though before we go down the expensive surgery route, have you tried paracetamol and a hot water bottle? And distracting yourself with a good romcom?

Amputating his tight ladies’ underwear might relieve the pain in his balls.

testmatchspecial · 30/05/2026 09:26

In the second link, it says he was admitted to hospital for acute testicular pain, then it says he has lived with chronic pain for most of his life. Surely if it was acute it would have been emergency surgery like the poster above mentioned, because you couldn’t function in life with that level of pain.

Well I, for one, find it very hard to believe that the same NHS that pretends female wards are single-sex, that gaslit the Darlington nurses with a man in their women's changing room and that admitted a trans-identified female to a male mental health ward where she was immediately raped would suddenly go all cold on gender ideology.

This!

GLP I suspect are targeting the long waiting lists for the gender clinics

Otherwise I look forward to hearing about the facts around this discrimination case. The NHS are 100% on board with trans ideology so I’ll be surprised if this claim succeeds
