'Fair care for trans and non-binary people
An RCN guide for nursing and health care professionals
Third edition'

2020

The glossary, p15, lists 'eunuch' under 'gender identity':

'Gender identity: a person’s intrinsic sense of being male (boy or man), female (girl or woman) or an alternative gender, for example transgender, girlboy, boygirl, eunuch, genderqueer'

www.rcn.org.uk/Professional-Development/publications/rcn-fair-care-trans-non-binary-uk-pub-009430

This is also quite surprising:

'Children

Gender-variant children and young people should be accorded the same respect for their self-defined (or true) gender as trans and non-binary adults are, regardless of their internal or external sex characteristics, including genitals.

Where there is no segregation in respect of issues like accomodation, as is often the case with children, there may be no requirement to treat a young gender-variant person any differently from other children and young people.

Where segregation is needed, then this should be in accordance with the dress, preferred name/and or stated gender identity of the child or young person.'

[Bold mine.]

In Additional Resources, the following organisations are listed, which may explain where the 'eunuch' reference comes from:

'International Standards of Care, available from the World Professional Association of Transgender Health [www.wpath.org]
Endocrinology guidance and other information about clinical care from National Gender Identity Clinical Network for Scotland [www.ngicns.scot.nhs.uk]'

FFS, when will ‘professional’ people bother to do a modicum of research & apply some critical thinking before using these directives?

Thank you for posting Arabella

The trouble is they have done some research, but I think the problem is the people/organisations consulted.

It's evident that the RCN has massive problems with sexual harassment of women by male senior staff to the extent they had to move their conference online and a recent report exposed a massive scandal - this Guardian report is truly shocking:

www.theguardian.com/society/2022/oct/10/bullying-misogyny-and-sexual-culture-at-royal-college-of-nursing-inquiry-finds

Oh look - the ex Chairman of the RCN was allegedly "hostile to women"

Based on the above reports, the RCN must have felt completely at home with WPATH & the other dubious organisations breaching boundaries and eroding safeguarding for women and children.

Thanks, MrsOvertonsWindow, I hadn't seen those. Shocking.
