My post on the person suing NHS was taken down

[Tesla73]

So I am posting it again with no comment

Surely suing the NHS makes no sense in this instance. It will cost the NHS hundreds of thousands to defend and will therefore deprive someone in urgent need. Haven't RTFT so hopefully someone has already pointed this out

I don't have time for people who can't be arsed to read the thread, plop and then disappear.

I wonder whether suing the NHS over this might have a knock-on effect of putting people off working in GIDS services?

Must be a hard enough service to staff at the moment anyway given the lack of robust evidence over treatment pathways.

Yup. Speaks for itself beautifully. The complainant should get a job in PR for an (lgb)T charity - think they’d do a stellar job.

Sickening entitlement.

The NHS provides healthcare services to people for a variety of conditions that are not considered to be critical or immediately life threatening or mental health issues. Take for example care during pregnancy.

Just highlighting this piece of a longer comment from a pro-trans poster, as the astonishing level of misogyny and blatant disrespect for women's lives and health deserves sunlight.

That is shocking @allmywhat - misogyny at its finest.

Why would people describe surgery that helps someone be able to have sex and sexual relationships and be intimate with another person as “cosmetic’ or ‘aesthetic’?

I am increasingly despairing at the lack of truth spoken about the actual success rate and likely complications from all of these surgeries.

Wow I actually somehow missed this. This is shocking - so ignorant of women’s bodies during pregnancy and the unborn child’s needs - so misogynistic. That pregnancy is even mentioned as not being worthy of medical care as if this is just hand holding or something, feels like a real kick to women who do get pregnant. One of the most medically risky times for a person in their lifetime!

With the benefit of the hindsight of knowing how some readers interpreted point 3 of my earlier post, I would now choose different words. Regarding my intention, please be assured that there was no intention to trivialise pregnancy or to imply any disrespect for women’s lives or health.

Not RTFT sorry, but this quote stood out to me.

“I doubt that the people who run the trusts or even NHS England take the time to sit and listen to them, even meet a trans person.”

Seems to me that the NHS has all but erased women, our access to single sex spaces within the NHS (hospital wards, changing rooms and loos, both staff and patients spring to mind) and language relating to women (chest feeders/birth parent/cervix haver yada yada) in order to accommodate the vocal trans women community. Not quite sure what else they want.
Maybe there should be a law that gender reassignment surgery should be the top priority of the NHS, over everything else? Just for trans women mind you. They’re the ones who really matter after all.
I might suggest it to Keir Starmer. He could run it as a campaign on the side of busses. It has worked in the past. 🙄🤯

Thank you for clarifying that. Have you considered the points we made in response to your post? That it's not misinformation prompting us to criticise this lawsuit, but our knowledge of the realities of the NHS? That we disagree with the premise of the lawsuit because it is not born out by the facts?
