Our two great institutions, the BBC and the NHS, combine for the above video clip and twitter discussion

He really is a numpty. No, you don't need to include everyone in this. You need to include males. Only males. Every male, not 'everyone'.

Or maybe he doesn't think women are people.

Q: Who has a prostate?
A: Anyone who is a prostate-haver!
Q: Where is the prostate located?
A: In the prostate-location!
……

Yes, let’s carry on with these gnomic statements. They seem super-helpful. Not.

He’s a virtue-signalling fool and a big disappointment.

CiaoForDiNiaoSaur · 13/01/2022 18:34

So a woman is "anyone who feels like a woman" and a prostate haver is anyone who has a prostate.

I may or may not feel like a woman, hard to know without knowing what it feels like to be one.
And I may or may not have a prostate. I've not had one removed, but no one has ever confirmed if I was born with one or not.

So I might be a woman with a prostate, or a woman with no prostate. Or not a woman but have a prostate. Or maybe I neither woman nor prostate haver. ConfusedHmm

@UltraVividLament

Q. "Which people have prostates, Doctor?"

A. "Anyone who has one! I don’t understand the question. Unless you’ve had it removed or were born without one then I’m talking to you!"

What craven nonsense. I used to quite like the Van Tulleken twins when they were cheery young docs on kids TV, but Xand at least seems to be morphing into a rather unlikeable middle aged man. Of course he understands the question! He's chosen to mangle language and be remarkably unclear in order to make sure he stays the right side of a particularly vicious set of witch-hunters looking for wrong thinkers.

Oh gosh does he not understand the question?

'Who is a man?'
'Anyone who is one!'

ditalini · 13/01/2022 19:12

Yes, it's literally exclusive, ie you need to be in the club that understands what he really means.

When he says "people with prostates" and you're in the know, you translate that into "male, you know, the ejaculators".

If you're not in the know then fuck you I guess as far as Dr Xand is concerned.

Even the ugly, inaccurate and unnecessary "asigned male at birth" would be better.

TherapistInATabard · 13/01/2022 19:21

Looks like he’s deleted.

TheWeeDonkey · 13/01/2022 19:38

Now we'll never know who has a prostateConfused

@TherapistInATabard

Looks like he’s deleted.
Did anyone manage to archive the thread? I tried this morning but all the archive sites I use where on a go-slow and I never got to the top of the endless queue..

Noooo, I love Chris and Xand! I like Dr Ronx too. I think they all have a lovely manner on Operation Ouch and a real knack of explaining medical things to kids. And they make me laugh.

Of course I know who has a prostate. But I'd love to ask him how I can explain to my kids who has a prostate, and how we know that they don't have one. He must understand this problem, having spent so much time explaining stuff to kids!!

DisappearingGirl · 13/01/2022 20:08

The clip is here, along with some screenshots of Dr Xand's tweets in the comments.

I'm so disappointed!

nauticant · 13/01/2022 20:25

Yes, he's deleted his idiotic tweets, some are archived at: <a class="break-all" href="https://archive.fo/twitter.com/xandvt/status/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">archive.fo/twitter.com/xandvt/status/

He left this excuse tweet in their place: twitter.com/xandvt/status/1481564820268888068

BootsAndRoots · 13/01/2022 20:42

Doctors don't say "people with two legs" when talking about DVT, or people with 10 toes.

DoubleYouOhEmAyEn · 13/01/2022 20:49

Boots people with one leg can get a dvt too you know. You're a hater of the one legged. Shame on you. Grin

Enough4me · 13/01/2022 20:51

I've watched them for years with my DCs. They definitely knew the words women and man before, it's sad to see 're-education' at work.

I'd love it if they reflected and said, enough bollocks, men have prostates.

Snoozer11 · 13/01/2022 20:57

Television doctors are always idiots.

Enough4me · 13/01/2022 20:59

They didn't used to be idiots. It's a real loss to the majority with common sense.

At least he uses the word man in his non apology. I'm all for equal treatment with this nonsense.

PaleGreenGhost · 13/01/2022 21:10

Even the ugly, inaccurate and unnecessary "asigned male at birth" would be better.

Has this awful phrase fallen out of fashion? I suppose the huuge problem with it (for gender ideologists) is that it can be used to mean "man" without too much obfuscation.

weasle · 13/01/2022 21:17

Urgh how disappointing.
I was certain one of them retweeted or liked something regarding biological sex a while ago. I can't find it now. They tweet a huge amount and I can't wade through them all.

DevonTF · 13/01/2022 21:24

I am refined Devon lady on Twitter - and very proud to say I started this with him on Twitter. I don’t watch the programme, but was on the phone and it came on after the news. I thought I hadn’t heard it correctly - but indeed he didn’t mention men or male once. I do have a few of his deleted tweets if anyone wants them. Another actually messaged him directly, and got the biggest load of drivel back. Will try and find it and post here.
