[Imnobody4]

Yes¡ Just done a little victory dance. I hope it really is as good as it sounds.

On Tuesday, Steve Barclay will announce proposals to push back against “wokery” in the health service that has led to women’s rights being increasingly sidelined.The changes would give men and women the right to be cared for on wards only shared by people of their own biological sex, and to have intimate care provided by those of the same sex.Mr Barclay said the plan would mean the return of “a common-sense approach to sex and equality”, ensuring that women’s dignity was protected and their voices heard.The proposals follow concerns from patients and staff about biological men being allowed on to women’s hospital wards. In 2021, NHS guidance said trans patients could be placed on single-sex wards on the basis of the gender with which they identified.

The RCN have deleted the comments which challenged their response.
Its all so disappointing and b annoying.

It says a great deal that they have to protect their narrative by hiding information anyone might see that 'turns them'.

Heresy. It's heresy. Crucifixes and chanting and exorcisms, just all rebranded.

Cowards.

I hope you didn't think I was making a judgemental comment. Finding our voices and boundaries is a lifelong task for many of us and female socialisation can make it hard to distinguish true assertiveness. Don't be embarrassed.

Reviving an old thread here, but was curious to know if anyone has heard anything further on the consultation regarding trans patiens on single sex wards? I can't find any information regarding the consultation that Steve Barclay mentioned and no further media articles in the past 6 months.

I wrote to Victoria Atkins asking for an update, will post here if she gets back to me.

Thanks!
