Could you trust a doctor who denies that biological sex matters?

Fortunately not mine... I'd be out of there like a shot! But a doctor I know of on Twitter who is trans shares very little about women and anything about trans issues. And this week he basically said that sex was a construct and gender the superior quality. It's not H, but is another one in the North West.
Would you trust a doctor who says there's no biological difference between transwomen and women? It worries me that he places his ideology ahead of his professionalism.

The GMC provides guidance about doctors‘ personal beliefs and how they mustn’t interfere with medical care, link for reading for anyone worried about this:

I read a book recently with a section about just how different men and women are biologically and in medicine, right down to every cell in our bodies. And of course the whole of medicine in based around the male body and biology. I wonder how far this doctor goes in his (fake) belief that twaw?

I would be suspicious that the person I was seeing identified as being a doctor, rather than having any actual lived experience. Although this may not be a barrier to practice these days....

No I would not! Anatomy and physiology are crucial to becoming a doctor and if a doctor does not believe in the fundamental basics of their profession then they should not be a doctor!

I dont think most people actually believe it. They just dont dare say otherwise.
