To be very angry the trans lobby are getting the NHS sued?

[flashbac]

So the EHRC is suing the NHS. They feel that trans patients should have the right to get their fertility preserved before they effectively sterilise themselves by having treatment to change their bodies to reflect their gender.
FFS...the NHS is on its knees as it is. I really hope the courts see sense.
Aibu?

Sounds like the modern version of 'what's your's is mine and what's mine's my own.'

The EHRC tried to sue the NHS previously for not giving transwomen greater priority than women to breast augmentation surgery: www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWCA/Civ/2011/247.html Fortunately the EHRC lost.

It's such a shame to waste money bringing these cases and it will be a waste NHS resources if they win.

But we are still being told ‘transing children doesn’t sterilise them’ so why do they even need to freeze anything...?

This makes me really angry.

There’s already very patchy provision nationwide for women with gynaecological cancers to be able to freeze eggs if they’re able to. It’s a postcode lottery.

To have people making a voluntary choice to undergo a sterilising procedure placed ahead of women suffering from cancer is abhorrent. Utterly abhorrent.

I thought that with elective procedures you had to go private?

I thought that with elective procedures you had to go private?

“Elective” just means “non-emergency” or “routine”. So you would have an elective hemicolectomy (removal of bowel) for cancer (booked in and planned). But an emergency one for perforation/peritonitis (where you were too sick to wait for a pre-booked theatre slot).

Sorry for derail.

Oh this makes me so angry.

Suing because an elective procedure made them infertile (which they will absolutely have been warned of) and saying that this is discriminatory? Unbelievable.

My patience is wearing thinner and thinner.

I used to think 'god MN feminism boards are OBSESSED with trans people' and then one day I began to understand a little, then a lot, then I became worried, then I became frightened, then I became angry. Now I am furious.

It seems somewhat ironic that a man, who desperately wants to be a woman, feels entitled to have funded treatment to preserve the ultimate proof of their 'maleness'.
So they are angry that nobody wants to pay for their lady semen to be retained, at huge public expense?

If I asked to have my semen frozen, as a woman who was self IDing as a man, do you think they would humour me? I know I'm a 'human who menstruates', and all - but I want to be a 'human who ejaculates'.
I'm sure I've seen that written on loads of literature recently, instead of insulting people with pronouns.

I feel for people who feel trapped in the 'wrong' body I really do but I still feel this takes the biscuit. It's the pharmaceutical companies that benefit most from this mistaken ideology that you can somehow change sex. If only society was more accepting of difference...

Only just seen this. It’s absolutely fucking outrageous.
