NHS nurse on my facebook just changed her profile picture to this

[welcometothepartyyy]

Inappropriate, much?

I'd report her if I otherwise thought she was a knobber. But then why would I have her as a friend on Facebook if that was the case.

Tbh if she's off transing her child and shouting about the virtues of Mermaids, she'd be long gone (and yes true if a family member too) more than likely because there's not a cat in hell's chance I wouldn't have confronted her over it.

Confront her, challenge her, unfriend her, avoid her - I don't care about any of that. It's the support for the idea of reporting her to her employer that leaves me

I also wonder what fantasy land some posters live in, if they think a regulator (the NMC in her case)is going to pull her up on it. All the regulators are totally captured. She’d probably get a pat on the back.

I think you are right that the NMC wouldn't be interested in this post.

Whilst it would be impossible to rule out the fact that the NMC are Stonewall Diversity Champions having some influence, I really doubt they would give it the time of day regardless. The costs and time involved for the sake of one ill-advised SM breach (if a breach has even occurred) would be way out of proportion.

It's not as if the regulators are ignoring SM abusive behaviour entirely such as in the case of the Charming Dr Harrop where there is actual bullying and targeted harassment taking place.

Virtual signalling rubbish. They prove their trans allyship whilst also proving that they are so much better than a Tory.

What they are actually saying is that they would prefer to be in a bed next to Karen White, then 95 year old Doris. Like hell they would.

I support trans people and will happily share my hospital ward with a transman. This is not a post of support though is it? It's an anti GC, anti evidence, anti Tory, anti women post.

Where did I write that nurses decide who is admitted, or that I want male staff and visitors barred?

I wrote about a nurse expressing hostility, and about male intruders, in which I include men claiming to be women and occupying beds in women’s wards.

How can she support trans people even more? That doesn’t make sense. But there again that isn’t the main problem with the post. It is the implied discrimination against those with political views opposed to her own that is the most worrying part.

No they aren't! Same as people in many organisations.

I used to be an NHS administrator and would have been disciplined over a post like this.

Publicly criticising your employer on sm is never a good idea (and is actively forbidden my post ecology contexts)- why is this so difficult for some people to grasp?

(^^ Was a response to 'nurses are allowed to make political posts' upthread).

'Your employer' lol.
That would be very handy for conservatives wouldn't it, if public sector workers, who are the ones at the front line of enacting services with no budget, were forbidden from commenting.

If you actually read the SM policies upthread you'll see that it would be a real reach to apply it to criticising government. And if you did, it'd be a huge infringement of freedom of speech for a large swathe of the population.

And the oroginal post although misguided was nothing to do with 'refusing to treat' someone; that's a misinterpretation which has been corrected on this thread many times and is still popping back up.

But does she identify herself as nhs staff on her profile?

How do you know that? The OP maybe just knows she’s a nurse from her personal knowledge of this woman, not necessarily that she has a profile identifying herself as a nurse. And the post says ‘share’ a ward which to me doesn’t allude to being a nurse

The post doesn’t say she would rather treat a trans person than a Tory. It says share a ward with.

Bring a Tory is not one of the protected characteristics under the equality act

Political opinion would fall under the PC of belief.
