More details re the Darlington nurses. I don’t know what to say. This is outrageous. Just fucking outrageous.

Not an important point, but it just occurred to me that not one of the usual moronic scolds has been brave enough to pop up on this thread to attempt to mansplain away this vicious atrocity. When you see the psychopathy of this ideology laid bare like this there is absolutely nothing they can say to weasel or gaslight even the weakest "justification". And they know it.

They will say that Rose is a woman because TWAW and we haven't seen his genitals or checked his chromosomes and we are bigots. And it'll be as moronic and misogynistic as it was the first 50000 times.

How did the NHS get captured like this? This is not an isolated incident and I know from doctor and nurse friends that the same dangerous lunacy would be applauded and upheld in their trusts too (they are mostly captured themselves and would support it).

You know, when discussing this fucking outrageous gender ideology with people who have fallen for it, many of them like to suggest I’ma bigot when I object to removal of women’s spaces. I’ve taken to responding by saying: When the epidemic of violence against women and girls ends, we can talk.

And it's not like using the NHS as opposed to private care is optional for most of us. It's not like a cafe, or a shop, where you think, "This place is abusive to me and I just won't use them." Plus, it's healthcare we're talking about, sometimes life-saving, not a non-essential service like buying a coffee!

...and it's our effin NHS. We pay for it

Reminds me of the Edinburgh Rape Crisis CEO or whoever - a man, natch - telling rape victims to “reframe their trauma”.

It was even worse in that case. When it was still possible to view his Linked-In profile, I had a look. It turned out that his qualification back in India was in Hospitality and his Scottish qualification seemed to consist of a degree in English Lit.

Not wanting to derail but.... Remember that the exact same thing is happening to teenage girls in some schools in the UK who are compelled to undress in front of males for swimming / sports lessons.
Worth taking a look at this thread where a father's taking on a school because it's happening to his daughter. (I hope the OP doesn't mind me linking). There's an excellent letter of complaint that he's said he's happy for other parents to use if their child's school has a safeguarding breaching "trans policy":

https://www.mumsnet.com/talk/womens_rights/5330837-secondary-school-mixed-sex-changing-rooms-complaint-update-from-school-again?page=1

This is terrifying, as the mother of a young daughter. I seriously hope this is resolved by the time she's at this age, or it'll be me taking them on.

There's little need, apparently, he went into detail about how he's been trying to make his partner pregnant.

They know how bad this looks, so they don't even try to justify it.

Their only hope is that most people don't find out the details. 🙄

More total batshitery from Reddit

They also criticised her for not taking hormone therapy - she wanted to wait because she wants her own biological children. This, of course, is something these nurses can't/refuse to get their heads round. The lack of empathy and compassion is off the charts but of course they see themselves as the victims. Ugh.

Brefugee · 11/05/2025 13:10

the worst part in an awful awful episode, is the hospital putting him on the rota for her gynae OP and then not changing him out.

It took legal fucking action for her to have dignity during an operation. I want to burn things down. Really.

Datun · 11/05/2025 13:10

As as aside, it's little wonder that the men on Reddit are calling Karen a bigot. Incels, losers, perverts, bullies and just common or garden pigs will all find each other and congregate there.

The silver lining is, of course, that these are the same or similar people who are responding to the EHRC consultation.

If operation let them speak has done nothing else, it's shown that this pervy, misogynistic batshittery only goes one way in strengthening the conviction of the people who understand it.

RoyalCorgi · 11/05/2025 13:10

If you read the comments under the article, the overwhelming majority of them are supportive of Karen, and the most supportive comments have been "upvoted" hundreds of times. It's quite obvious that ordinary, decent people have no truck with this vile ideology that forces sexually abused women to undress in front of males who have inserted themselves in a female changing room.

This ideology is being pushed by a few deranged misogynists and their handmaiden allies, who have ended up running NHS trusts, universities, police forces, schools and the like. (Plus the handful of women-haters who post on Reddit forums and occasionally pop up on here peddling their disgusting views.) It's not something that normal people support, but unfortunately normal people don't have the power to do anything about it.

Is there anything we can do to support the Darlington nurses, Karen in particular? I was one of many who sent a card of support to Sandie Peggie. I'd love to do the same for Karen, if anyone knows the best address (eg whether it's the hospital, her lawyers or somewhere else).

ItsNotUnusualToBe · 11/05/2025 13:13

There are so many articulate posts and voices on here that I feel like I'm filling up the thread with a meaningless plop with this post. But I am so fucking angry and despairing.

To Karen, the Darlington nurses, Sandie Peggie, Cerys Vaughan and too many more .... your bravery will become legend.

moto748e · 11/05/2025 13:14

Awful news to read on this thread this morning. And it seems to the only, or at least the best way to combat it is an much publicity as possible. How the NHS is treating staff like Karen is disgraceful. And as for the fucking chocolate fireguard unions, the less said about them the better. They have almost all dismally failed in their core purpose.

So this bloke wants to father his own children and they can’t see a contradiction with his view of himself as a ‘woman’?

I’m going to stick my neck out and say that fathering a child from one’s own sperm is the least womanly act on the planet - nay the universe.

Just read this thread. Just when we thought it couldn’t get worse. Utterly appalled by the Trusts actions and their treatment of Karen. I hope all these managers are seriously thinking about resigning. Full support to her, Sandy and anyone else fighting for our rights. Wes, you need to take action NOW.

Don’t go over on Reddit, they’re having no problems labelling her a bigot and transphobe.

I can’t imagine how traumatising it must have been for Karen to be put in that position and being told by her employers that she was the problem. Hats off to her for taking a stand

Holy fuck.

Of course, I went to look because I always do what I'm told not to do.

It's utterly bewildering.

Copy pasting a few comments here, but I'll add a bit of space so you can skip them, as some are upsetting.

Here's the right side of history Being Kind to a woman again. Someone tell me that this isn't a movement motivated by a deep hatred of women:

'Is her name really Karen?'

'It's vile transphobic bigotry'

'Eat shit, Karen, you vile vile bigot'

'This is yet another case of TERF yelling dubious accusations of "RAPE!" against someone who isn't even the alleged rapist. Their tactic is saying, "Well I have trauma and trans women trigger that so ipso facto it's sexual abuse not to let me have my own way". TERFs fake rape accusations all the time as a strategy and it's fucking disgusting. '

'blatant weaponisation of trauma '

'I don’t mean to be rude but at least a couple of the Darlington Nurses don’t fit conventional feminine beauty standards'

'She's hiding behind it to try and justify her prejudice'

'Karens transphobia is also exposed by her actions and statements.
Karen's arguments rest on the incorrect belief that trans women are men.'

'The lack of empathy and compassion is off the charts but of course they see themselves as the victims'

'she is just a transphobic pos who wants to jump through logical hoops to get sympathy for her bigotry. '

'That Karen has a really nasty vibe to her. Was my first impression when I saw a photo. Kind of malicious and almost attention seeking. I’m sorry if she was SAd, but so was I and I don’t go about my life trying to hurt others. Some people are just born cunts. GCs are very good at playing the victim card.'

Why does one person's feelings trump another person's access to medical care? Surely they are neither relatable nor comparable. What a horror story that probably shocks, but doesn't surprise any of us born with a vagina.

I hope the tide starts turning on these public bodies with the recent high profile cases, with all credit to those women who have put their careers and reputations on the line to help the rest of us fight back.

I work in the public sector too and those of us at the bottom of the tree, including most junior level management are all secretly supportive of Sandi, Karen and JKR etc, but wouldn't dare say it loud enough for the upper management to hear, because the fear of being singled out is real. It is a sad state of affairs that we have been silenced on our own human rights as a female to pacify those whose pretence has gifted them the few rights that was just ours, and didn't we have to fight hard enough for them too, eh.

Whooowhooohoo · 11/05/2025 13:25

The conflict of interest, putting ROSE in the operating theatre is awful - threatening behavior. Who is running this hospital? If something went wrong there would be a huge huge conflict of interest malpractice issue. Stupid leadership @ Darlington.


I read this DM carefully, they mention Rose in relationship with a woman (haha whatever that means!) and they are trying for a baby. Are we supposed to think that is why Rose has penis & testicles … is that the excuse for Rose still being a man? (If Rose so unhappy being a man, do IVF with frozen sperm and transition asap !!) Pathetic really, if that’s the excuse for Poor Poor Rose still being a man when she feels like a woman. Rose wants to be a man to impregnate a woman, then be a woman to be the mum. Rose wanting to have it all at expense of others.

The levels of psychological manipulation in this case are appalling, with Rose at the centre revellling in her ability to create a special world just for him/her self - where everyone is saying yes Rose, whatever you want.
Rose has no right to do this. I stand with Darlington Nurses.

If you’re the first person to look for an archive version, there won’t be any result, in which case you can paste your urL in the top box and then wait a minute or so while it archives for you.

Thank goodness for Karen and women like her, who are prepared to fight, despite the horrific abuse they have to endure because of it.

In McDonalds today I saw a man in a dress walking into the woman's toilets. I wasn't going to be the one to cause a scene, but if my 9 year old DD had been in there at the time, I would have followed him in. I'd be risking my career if labelled as a transphobic bigot, and most of us just aren't in a position to be able to do that.

I really hope the tide it turning on this madness.

The scolds will flock to any thread with JKR, toilets or pronouns in the title but threads like this, the ET threads, threads about rape crisis services etc etc and they are conspicuous in their absence.

They're just cowards and can't back up any of their shite arguments.

Edited

All the good little trans allies are conspicuous by their absence too, but if they are reading/lurking this is what you are schilling for, this treatment of women is what you are advocating for and why? What are you getting out of it? You know the men pushing for this have absolutely zero respect for you don't you? At the best they view you as useful idiots and laugh at how easily you have been conned into doing their work for them. I won't repeat the worst they say about you. Furthermore they are not in the slightest bit interested in you, they are only interested in the women who don't consent, have seen through the ideology and pushed back.
