Health secretary Sajid Javid can be contacted at www.sajidjavid.com/contact

It’s not that long since he pledged to order the nhs to stop doing this www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10925093/Sajid-Javid-orders-NHS-bosses-stop-dropping-women-online-advice-pages.html

email sent. worth a try, nothing to loose

Theblondestoftheblonde · 28/06/2022 15:13

Christ is there no end to this utter bullshit?

Theblondestoftheblonde · 28/06/2022 15:16

I’ve emailed Sajid

JustFrustrated · 28/06/2022 15:42

I've emailed.

borntobequiet · 28/06/2022 16:13

Me too. So fed up.

Artichokeleaves · 28/06/2022 16:46

Anyone trying this bullshit out on me in actual reality is going to get a hard stare and a request that they let me know immediately that they have a basic grip on reality, or can they please supply me with another professional who does.

This is getting beyond stupid now and is fostering nothing but more and more division, anger and resentment where there wasn't any. This is pointless, destructive, very unhelpful and achieves nothing for nobody except a small political extremist lobby who are well known to have a reduced ability to cope with reality such as laws as they actually are, and are losing funding hand over fist.

There's a reason a lot of "GC" people are women going through the menopause. Some stupid little scrote with no life experience trying to tell women going through a major life changing biological process that biology doesn't matter. Dickwipes. And we are supposed to trust Our NHS with this biology denial shit.
It's never ejaculators and prostate havers.

I've emailed. Fed up of being pushed aside to make other people feel better.

OverTheRubicon · 28/06/2022 17:31

I'm on the generally non-GC side of MN, and wouldn't hugely mind (except from a clunky language sense) if pages said something along the lines of 'women / people with wombs'. But removing women, when too many people already aren't aware of the details of women's health, is not ok.

Note that the prostate cancer page still says men many many many times www.nhs.uk/conditions/prostate-cancer/

Thank you for the link to Javid's contact details. I've emailed him. I'm furious about this.

It is not ok. Because there are two sexes. The belief in which, means you are Gender Critical.

I despair I really do.

I would be bloody thrilled if we had truly 'lost' menopause. Who wants hot flushes, mental fog, constant tiredness, vaginal atrophy and all the other lovely side-effects of this hormonal change?

The NHS erectile dysfunction page refers to men. The menopause page can refer to women.

CandyLeBonBon · 28/06/2022 17:42

I have also written

Osteoporosis?

Yes I'd love to lose that completely.

Waterfallgirl · 28/06/2022 17:52

Thank you for highlighting this!

Just like many others I am sick of this now - I have emailed Javid also.

(On the other hand I had to break my rule of never reading the DM!)

Snowinsummer · 28/06/2022 17:55

Emailed, so cross I can hardly type

What a load of utter Bollocks! emailed.

Free text boxes, btw. And you can submit anonymous report/comment.

Put in complaint

OverTheRubicon · 28/06/2022 19:33

@AlisonDonut so in your assessment, if you're not fully aligned with the Gender Critical viewpoint, you can't support any part of it?

There are a ton of people - including me - who you may not agree with but could be helping make inroads with what you care about. Maybe in time more of us might come to your view. But it's such an echo chamber in this particular part of MN, that it feels like anyone who isn't ready to loudly denounce any poor soul who dares to state their pronouns when asked to by HR is actively unwelcome. You're not the only one despairing.
