Ahem, name changed for obvious reasons.
This is my employer. The policy is far worse than the bits quoted (though the 'compare women who don't want men on the women's ward to racists' is a highlight). It says that staff have to gaslight women patients who object, or willl be found to have breached the TWs privacy and be hauled up before a disciplinary committee. It refers to decision making about placing children under 16 according to their natal sex versus their 'true gender'. The staff policy says that a TW staff member should be allowed to use female changing rooms as soon as they 'socially transition' and female staff who object should not be listened to And that it's completely up tot the trans staff member if they don't tell anyone they're trans (informed consent anyone?). It also wrongly says that the genuine occupational qualification which would bar a man from a role, also bars a TM for the same role.
In case anyone hasn't put the two together, this is the same hospital where a Paediatric Haematology consultant sexually abused children with cancer. This hospital above all others should be shit hot on safeguarding. But no, instead they're in the Stonewall scheme and get the Kite Trust to dictate their policies, which discriminate against women and religious people and endanger children.
I have raised concerns about this policy, more than once. Each time I raise a concern, the outcome is that I need more training to better understand the needs of trans people, and the policy stays the same.The 'freedom to speak up guardian', who is meant to be outside the hospital management structure and is meant to be neutral, has pronouns in her email signature. The DEI person is a TM, as is the Unison rep. They are completely and totally captured, and if this media attention is what it takes to change this, then I'm glad it's come out in any newspaper which is willing to report it.
