biological sex IS immutable & if the medical profession is suggesting otherwise, something is going very badly wrong

Good to hear this from someone medical.

Excellent. So pleased more and more sensible things are being said

It's great that she is based at St Andrews University. I posted this on another thread recently:

Margaret McCartney and other female medics (including the splendid Susan Bewley) have shown leadership in this field and printed several key pieces in the BMJ.

I'm resigned to some of the reaction that she's getting and I don't underestimate what this will cost her. Even so, that's a shocking reaction from Richard Ma and I'll be surprised to the point of horror if it continues to stand.

The Vice-Chancellor of St Andrews University, Sally Mapstone also recently sent a letter to students about the need to be open to different viewpoints and the importance of academic freedom.

She needs to ask Robert Winston to back her up like he did on Question Time.

I LOVES Margaret McCartney so much.

[Fangirling on MN about her before anyone else.]

Excellent tweet. BMA policy on gender issues is being pushed by a small band of Stonewall influenced activists who have time to attend the ARM and push through motions and get themselves on committees. We need the sensible doctors to stand firm and stop the BMA drowning in genderwoo.

ArabellaScott · 12/12/2021 20:19

Great. Well done, Margaret McCartney.

ImmutableSexQueen · 12/12/2021 21:13

Oh, my. Fancy that.
Thanks, Margaret McCartney. I feel validated.

KohlaParasaurus · 13/12/2021 06:22

Excellent. Knowing that sex is binary and immutable is fundamental to working safely and effectively as a medical doctor.

The term 'dog whistle', along with the word 'transphobia' has been rendered meaningless through overuse.

It does trans people no favours at all to ignore the realities of their biological sex.

How do mtf transitioners benefit by pretending that issues exclusive to the male sex (eg problems with the prostate) will never affect them? How do ftm transitioners benefit?

Answer: they don't.

There's someone on that thread called Dr Duncan McGregor who is claiming that Margaret McCartney is wrong because some people have DSDs, some people are infertile and nobody examines your chromosomes. I do hope that person isn't really a medical doctor.

TheWeeDonkey · 13/12/2021 08:43

I'm not on Twitter so I can't see the replies. However, I can't see how this has become new information or controversial.

What next?

That’s the beauty of the Orwellian JKRowling tweet. If you replace penised individual with transwomen (which some cross posters were saying should be done) it just proves the point further. Genius.

Yes, he is a medical doctor. Co-Chair for GLADDUK. I'm embarrassed for him and for GLADD that he's so disrespectful to Margaret and to people with VSD. Will people never listen to the people who repeatedly ask to be left out of this?
