The BMA have put out a hand-wringing statement about the Supreme Court ruling.
They say "access to care should not be determined by a perceived hierarchy of rights." That's right BMA, men's feelings that "require" them to be on women's wards, in women's changing rooms and women's toilets are not more important than women's need for privacy, dignity, and safety when they are patients or staff in the NHS. You need to wake up to the fact that women have rights too.
They say there is increased pressure on the NHS because of the need to find alternative accommodation for trans patients, all because men can no longer be placed on women's wards. They say "we support informed, respectful, discussion by medical professionals of the best ways to manage individual patients, taking a patient-centred approach, which respects their dignity, autonomy, and human rights". It's a shame they didn't take this approach when it came to respecting the dignity, autonomy, and human rights of women to single sex spaces.
They talk about a BMA report which showed high levels of transphobia experienced by NHS staff, but completely fail to mention the high levels of sexism, sexual harassment, and sexual assault experienced by female doctors and medical students, collected by organizations like Surviving in Scrubs. They also fail to mention the ingrained sexism within the BMA, which was revealed by the Romney report, and which they clearly are still perpetuating.
They say "our commitment to supporting our trans and non-binary members, and the wider community of medical professionals and patients remains unwavering." It's a shame they have no commitment to support female BMA members, the wider community of female medical professionals and female patients whose right to single sex spaces had been taken away from them, and continues to be denied to them by the NHS.
