Trans NHS Staff Network have tweeted this:
"We are concerned to hear an NHS organisation decided to have a "poll" on whether they should make their toilets at work trans inclusive. As the poll turned out narrowly against they have scaled back their plans.... since when did we decide Equality & minority rights by polling?"

They wouldn't give more details because that would risk someone being held accountable for trying to drop their organisation in the poop.
I sincerely doubt any NHS organisation is going to stop trans people using the toilet of the sex they identify as. So I'm guessing this poll was about converting all staff loos to unisex?
If that actually was the question the staff responded just as the general public have done in polls, in that the majority prefer single sex facilities.
You would hope that trans NHS staff wouldn't think single sex spaces are actually transphobic? That's worryingly irrational from people who have responsibility for patient care.
Does anyone know more about what specifically the staff were polled on?
