Darlington nurses awarded £187k in single-sex spaces case

That's true. Haemophilia is a genetic disease, on the X chromosome, so men are more vulnerable to it. Lots of haemophiliacs (and others) were infected with HIV and/or hepatitis. It was shameful, made worse that the compensation scheme took so dreadfully long. Women 'lucked' out there genetically or we'd have been equally affected.

Funnily enough, and I should have expected it, it's no comfort. No-one should suffer medical negligence or neglect.

I think it's because there's "healthcare", and "women's healthcare".

The default human is a man, while women require add-on services.

The tainted blood scandal, one of the very worst, destroyed the lives of mainly male people.

Why does it always seem to be women's healthcare where these scandals emerge? Aside from maternity, which despite the best efforts of tras will only effect women and their children, it should be fairly even. Is it cognitive bias? I'm not as interested in fuck ups that only affect men?

I think i posted about this on another Darlington nurses thread but I was hurrying out and I might have botched it.

And the Trust's maternity care is rated Requires Improvement.
Is anyone surprised?

Not directly to do with this case, but I think it's the same trust that is being investigated by the National Crime Agency for harming hundreds of women at its breast unit, with several women having breasts removed unnecessarily. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c9qrn3y72dxo Their track record on how they treat their female staff and patients really is appalling, isn't it?

I wonder whether they should be obliged to - to prevent the misuse of taxpayer money…..

Good -to ensure it changes you have to get it on the ledger.

All they had to do was a consultation. I hope the NHS trust sues the organisation that no doubt gave them false legal advice about discrimination on the basis of gender reassignement.

It’s important that compensation was awarded.

Well done and thank you to the nurses. As others have said, the cost of standing up for women’s rights isn’t just a material cost and they certainly didn’t do it for monetary gain.

Im pleased we have threads like this to celebrate the achievements of women. Many men cannot bear such a thing and come along to try and centre males with trans identities. Their posts are evidence of this.

“It’s a slur for a reason”

Yep, that reason being pure misogyny and hatred of women. Ironic really, when you unpack it.

How odd.

That a massive coincidence.

In what reality? Tired of Explaining Reality to Fools (I'm being polite), in this reality is on the 'right side of history'. When we come to write it, TRA's might get a footnote, if we're feeling #BeKind.

Bound to be - couldn't be related to this case, surely.

In other, completely unrelated news, A.T (head of HR) announced his retirement the day before this news broke.
I'm sure it's just a coincidence.

Brilliant news. Well done to all of those nurses for their courage and determination in taking this to the tribunal.

Presumably this means that other nurses who were forced to change with Rose can now also ask the Trust for compensation and take them to a tribunal to get it? Or is there a time limit that's passed? (when did the Trust finally start following the law?)

Which women's rights do you have a problem with?

In CuriousQueer's world that would be all of them, women and especially the likes of us shouldn't have any rights.

I did that.
Through MN.
Helped get the NHS to change policy on something else. There was a government letter and everything to MN.

MN is quite good for women's rights and getting politicians and institutions to listen to legitimate concerns.

Odd isn't it?

Which women's rights do you have a problem with?

The 'civilised world' look down on

Would that include the Supreme Court?
You know it's protected to know and understand that sex is not gender...

Which is kinda handy for doctors and patients everywhere. Throughout the civilised and uncivilised world.

Cos biology.

Great news.
But, fundamentally every taxpayer has been funding the NHS to break the law. I really wish there was some kind of personal reaponsibility that had to be taken by someone.

Batz

(to the invasion that is)

I am reading this thread, half watching the footy, in the dark with the window open. A moth came in heading for the tv, swiftly followed by a bat. They did a few circuits then both left.

Somehow that seems apt.

What super powers you must possess to be able to tell my class from 11 words.

As far as I am aware absolutely nothing is compelling you to be on MN if it is such an objectionable sewer, feel free to leave for pastures new at any time.

Run along dear, I am sure it is past your bedtime.
