Transwoman on women's ward

[Sallycinnamum]

Had a minor gynae procedure today but nevertheless was very anxious leading up to it.

Was wheeled back to the day ward to be greeted quite literally (started waving at me) by a transwoman in the bed opposite me.

There was no doubt he was a man and being completely immobile due to a spinal anaesthetic with no underwear on I asked the nurse to completely close the curtains so he couldn't look directly at me.

Spoke to a nurse who confirmed it wasn't a mixed ward.

I am so upset. I felt so vulnerable especially as I couldn't walk so had to pee into a bedpan in clear earshot of him.

I've emailed PALS but I feel so bloody fed up of it all. Had a man next to me in the M&S lingerie changing rooms a few weeks ago and was made to feel like a total bigot when I complained to the staff.

Because he's a man and everyone knows it.

If he were a woman he would be told to put up and shut up.

The word is SEX

Not gender

HTH

I tell you what is disgusting. Me sitting immobile covered in blood and urine and unable to get a nurses attention because the curtains were completely closed so he couldn't see me. I mean are you really that bloody stupid?

AS a woman

Not an ACTUAL woman

Therefore is still a man

If they legally can't have biological men on the wards, why are they? The NHS is one of the largest organisations in the world. Surely they have lawyers? Do they routinely break the law in other areas?

Name and shame the hospital, PALS will do nothing so they can avoid conflict. Put them under the spotlight.

As in Sandie Peggie case and the Darlington nurses.

"She is a Transwoman and misgendering her by calling her a he is disgusting."

Sex realists - the great majority of the human population - identify themselves and other people by their sex, which is an objective physical characteristic.

There is no reason why we should be obliged to discard our objectively accurate worldview, and replace it with the distorted personal fantasies of a few troubled individuals.

And that's what "gender" is, as used by the trans movement - it refers to their fantasy role-playing, not to any objective reality. It's not remotely "disgusting" to refuse to take part in somebody else's fantasy games, especially if doing so entails discarding your own basic human rights, as TRAs insist women should do.

But that case started in 2023, prior to the SC Ruling.

Apart from transgender issues, are there other laws they aren't following? Seems odd to me that they could 'get away with' breaking the law on such an industrial scale without repercussion

Except for where they might end up if they get a prison sentence

What a bizarre claim. Of course many people are talking about this. It has been bouncing around the government and courts for many years, given the issue described by OP, the whole of the NHS is talking about this (and many other government organisations). Nicola Sturgeon arguably had her career irreparably damaged by arguing in favour of a double rapist being placed in a women’s prison and even the BBC have been forced to cover it.

Do you live on a desert island?

Dr Upton doesn't have a GRC so isn't affected by the Supreme court ruling which was only about whether people with a GRC should be treated as their acquired gender for the Equality Act

It was already ruled that people without a GRC are their biological sex for the EA and I think that ruling was before the tribunal

Ps if you don’t want single sex spaces when you are vulnerable that’s fine. I sincerely hope you don’t join the number of women tho have been raped or sexually assaulted while in hospital with these men who like to expose themselves to women, view hardcore porn on the ward (that one got a conviction thankfully) or just generally harass and upset women.

I suggest that you volunteer to share third mixed sex spaces with men who wish they were women to try and provide them with the validation they need. Good luck.

I'm so glad this 'isn't a thing' for you, it is, however, 'a thing' for many other women. Especially those who have been hounded out of their jobs, and received rape and death threats for merely stating the biological reality that people can't change sex. Are you suggesting that only things that affect you or your sisters are worthy of attention? I have thankfully, never had cancer, should I just not be bothered by it affecting other people, because it's not 'a thing' for me?

Men as a sex class are predatory towards women, 95% of sex crimes are carried out by men, we want to keep all men out of our single sex spaces, because we don't know exactly which men are a danger to us. Not all people are burglars, but I bet you lock your doors at night, or do you breezily tell people that not all people are burglars, so why would I bother to lock my doors?

The topic is single sex spaces. Females and males. So called “misgendering” is therefore completely irrelevant. Go and derail somewhere else.

Yes you absolutely did miss something…in fact several things.

Today is Wednesday the 18th June 2025. The person being referred to is a man. Both of those statements are factual, why do you find the second one 'disgusting'? Do you often find facts disgusting?

Oops sorry!

'The majority of child abuse is perpetrated by women so how do we know which ones are safe to be around our children as teachers/nursery assistants etc?'

Completely and utterley wrong -

'The majority of perpetrators of sexual abuse before the age of 16 years were males
Around 9 in 10 adults (92%) experienced sexual abuse committed by males only.' These are official figures from the Office of National Statistics, please go and peddle your deliberate misinformation somewhere else. I am reporting your post.

The 2019 Crime Survey for England and Wales showed that 91.7% of child sex abuse victims were abused by a male, 3.8% by a female and 5.5% by both male and female

can you link to any reports showing figures for this

I'm reporting this post too.
