And complain that the very things they lobbied for are now putting people at risk.

Yes Stonewall, if people change their sex markers on medical records they may not get the health care they need.

We told you this.

There just aren't enough facepalms.

For cervical screenings, only people with an ‘F’ marker on their GP registration are currently automatically invited for a screening. Although everyone with a cervix can request screening, the current IT system doesn’t automatically invite those with an ‘M’ marker.

This puts the onus on trans and non-binary people to request screening, and results in barriers to accessing this crucial healthcare. A recent study found that only 58 per cent of trans male and non-binary interviewees had been screened

The easiest fix here is for Stonewall et al to agree and promote that sex and gender are two separate things. That would satisfy those on all sides of the debate.

SW will never admit it’s that simple because it would mean organisations would not need all those costly SW training programmes.

@NiceGerbil, I’ve sent you a message. I don’t know what source this person used. I didn’t post their name here because I don’t want to start a Twitter pile on. However, I’m surprised that no one has stated the blimmin obvious in the comments.
