Not sure this is the ‘win’ India thinks it is

India was delighted on Twitter that the hospital band India was wearing said ‘female’.

I hope for India’s sake that India’s doctors understand biology and should India need a transfusion of blood that India does not receive blood from a female who has previously been pregnant.

Martina Navratilova. One of the greatest female tennis players in history.

She's quite famous.

Just to be clear then: India says female women are transgender.
Is there anyone who isn't trans?
I'm as trans as India is, by India's logic.

Nvm, cross posted 😂

"There will be no fucking sniggering - about what? I hate that people genuinely think health care professionals behave like that."

Oh dear.

There must be a lot of talking going on behind your back.

Seriously? You don't think most of us know doctors in real life?

Mixed ward. Hmmm. That could be complicated

"There is a difference between biology and gender identity"...

"So we need to say that someone is the opposite biological sex to what they really are"

That’s one of India’s favourite photos that gets trotted out regularly, along with a photo of their passport, in an effort to show that a legal fiction has some kind of magic wand effect when it comes to biology.

The old adage about chess and pigeons comes to mind.

If India heaven forbid should develop prostate issues in the future what will India do? Would India acknowledge her male body and seek the appropriate treatment or would India continue with the delusional thinking that India is more female than biologically born females?

I know loads of doctors, I'm an HCP and I don't know a single one that would snigger about - what - a transwoman being in hospital, saying they're female? Are we in Carry On?

They're either aggressively TWAW or stressed GC trying to square the circle of retaining a foot in reality while respecting this sort of stuff. It's not fucking funny.

I never thought I would say this, but I am beginning to feel a bit sorry for India. Anyone who wants something which they can never have so desperately , and seizes on any tiny tiny affirmation, however forced, is a bit pitiable.

This does not mean I condone India in female wards, changing rooms , loos or any other female space, though.

Oh...so this isn't recent, ie the past week?

Just hope that it is a male ward

If you’ve got a bar code reader handy then could you read all of India’s personal information from that photo?

i think India sometimes lets cognitive dissonance get in the way of his social media

Tweeted recently again but it’s an old photo, seen it before. Makes a change from using a photo of the passport page with the sex marker changed to F.

Yes, India has moved from claiming to be “more woman than” to being “more female than” [insert famous female name]. India is a sperm-haver, having biologically fathered children with said sperm. India also claimed on tv that it didn’t matter what a cervix was (India didn’t know what it was), and in any case surgeons could just construct one.

India isjust lying now, surely, not just being stupid of delusion? It's dangerous if someone medical in the hospital makes a decision based on the F rather the evidence of their own eyes.

Can I just add that I ♥️ Emma Hilton (fondofbeetles on twitter)! She was just trying to get India to acknowledge reality but alas India blocked her when the conversation was just getting going.

Martina Navratilova was a tennis champion - one of the greatest of all time. Also a champion of lesbian rights.

I love that photo of Martina she's bloody gorgeous and she is a real superhero
