A shame that they don't link to the letter or make clear it is still open for signatures here womansplaceuk.org/2021/12/02/stonewall-letter-to-nursing-and-midwifery-council/

Is it my imagination or are these articles getting clearer and clearer?

MrsOvertonsWindow · 06/12/2021 17:45

Good news. The impact of Stonewall (and all the other self interested activist groups) on patient care, especially for women and children has been catastrophic.
Reading all the 'guidance" where NHS staff worked out how to shoehorn male born sex offenders onto women's wards was the final straw for me.

Redshoeblueshoe · 06/12/2021 17:48

I agree Goodie I think it's because they are actually beginning to understand the issue.

Snip>
However there have been concerns about the charitycontroversially promoting a policy of self-declared ‘gender identity’ – a doctrine that people are whatever gender they say they are – ahead of biological sex.

It supports the belief, for example, that people with penises can be lesbians and those with vaginas can be gay men. Those who disagree, says Stonewall, are bigots.

The charity's chief executive Nancy Kelley also claimed 'gender critical' beliefs – the belief that a person's biological sex cannot be changed – were like anti-Semitism.

snip ends

Laid out quite plainly, with care taken over the language used.

That's a good article, and the letter is very strong.

And if Stonewall think it's 'littered with inaccuracies and misinformation', then why don't they come out and say what they are?

Come on, let's have it.

I hope some people link to where nurses can sign the letter in the below the line comments. It's good to get it in front of a wide audience.

"We are here to say ‘Enough’.

We are not prepared to bargain away our rights (won by women who came before us).

We are not prepared to be told to wait, or step aside – again.

We are here to say that women matter in this movement.

And you ignore us at your peril."

I shared on Facebook. One Nurse friend asked what it's all about she had no clue. So now I'm out on Facebook, well see who my friends are.

FindTheTruth · 06/12/2021 21:02

Good luck @FedUpAtHomeTroels will you let us know how it goes? xxx

Has someone at the Mail declared war on the TRAs!

ArabellaScott · 06/12/2021 21:57

Great. Well done, nurses.

Beowulfa · 07/12/2021 10:23

Well done nurses for standing up for your patients (this includes plenty of men who prefer to request a male practitioner; vital when men are less likely to seek help early).

Thanks I’ve signed it x

Did anyone notice this article from the BBC news? Headlined as "Creating hostility over sex or gender should be hate crime - report"
