NHS England interim trans policy

[Motnight]

NHS England has finally (I think yesterday) published "Interim changes to our Trans Equality Policy and Procedures". It states that "whilst we develop an updated policy, trans colleagues should use single sex facilities of their biological sex or a single lockable facility".

Her results are quite alarming.

Bet you'd enjoy having men piss all over the seat and floor. You sound like you've never been on an intercontinental flight where unisex accommodation can be experienced in all its glories
