@alexsobel.co.uk @oliviabailey.bsky.social Some great human rights we've got going here. Your committees want to do their job and work on this or bury your heads in a bigger pile of 'Dignity and Respect'. Hate is your legacy

Keyne@keyne-unable.bsky.social · 4w ago

So many people buried their heads in the sand this week saying that NHS segregation of trans people was "for their safety". But even internal NHS assessments say it will cause direct harm. Sex is not binary and trans people need respectful care based on actual physiology, not anti-trans slogans.

@sianberry.bsky.social and now the entire civil service mandates trans people compromise on their identity and accept being second class. The civil service is not a safe place for trans people to work in. Such Dignity Much Respect @kateosbornemp.bsky.social @nadiawhittomemp.bsky.social

🚨 Breaking: New guidance from the Ministry of Defence, seen by QueerAF, sets out that Trans service members will be "accommodated in line with their biological sex" www.wearequeeraf.com/uk-trans-arm...

@sianberry.bsky.social case in point. It's just cruelty.

@england.nhs.uk just published new formal guidance telling hospitals to put transgender patients in wards based on their “biological sex”. That means they’re now putting trans women in men’s wards, and trans men in women’s wards, regardless of their personal circumstance or how vulnerable they are.

NHS England just published new formal guidance telling hospitals to put transgender patients in wards based on their “biological sex”.
That means they’re now putting trans women in men’s wards, and trans men in women’s wards, regardless of their personal circumstance or how vulnerable they are.
I’m a trans woman and I’ve been transitioning for seven years. I live and participate in society on a daily basis as a woman.
I’ll soon be undergoing major surgery and, under this new guidance, I’m likely to wake up on a men’s ward, surrounded by strangers, physically vulnerable, and effectively outed as trans against my will.
The NHS says hospitals can make “alternative arrangements” but private rooms are rare, and statistically also those in private rooms receive a reduced standard of care.
Who benefits from this? Nobody.
It doesn’t improve healthcare for anyone. It doesn’t make hosiptals safer. It just inflicts humiliation, distress, and potentially violence, upon trans people, when they’re vulnerable.
This is institutionalised transphobia and yet again, they’ve labelled it as “respect & dignity”
It’s deliberate cruelty, and it’s fucking disgraceful.

@yvettecooper-mp.bsky.social This argument from the government still wasn't considered strong enough which lead to the GRA. Apparently now though, despite "no reduction in rights" you and your government are forcing worse circumstances. Square that circle.

The UK government's argument to the ECtHR in I v The United Kingdom (where prisons and hospital wards were partly argued) is no longer true. It's amazing how far back we've regressed so quickly. hudoc.echr.coe.int/spa#{%22item...

A screenshot from the government's argument to the ECtHR in I v The United Kingdom. It says "48. As regards the specific difficulties claimed by the applicant, the Government submitted that she was able to live a female social role, free from State interference. There was no statutory or case-law restriction on the applicant dressing as she chose. She has been able to change her names. Were she to be sentenced to a term of imprisonment, the question of whether she would be held in a male or a female prison would be dealt with on the basis of what would be appropriate to the individual circumstances of her case. In the case of hospitalisation, it would be for the hospital staff to determine where she should be accommodated. The Government noted that on the basis of the applicant's appearance and social identity, she would be likely to be placed on a female ward and that it would be unlikely that the hospital would see or be influenced by her birth certificate."

@sarahowen.org.uk Oh look, more 'Dignity and Respect' in government. Third-sexing, segregation, humiliation and removal of rights all on one page. The GRA is dead.

Trans women famously never need gynaecology services

Example
13.153 A hospital provides an Obstetrics and Gynaecology (OBGYN) outpatient service. Only women and trans men need to use the service. The hospital provides the service to women and trans men in a way which preserves all users' privacy and dignity. Where that is the case, it is unlikely to be proportionate to exclude a trans man because of objections from female service users.
The outpatient service does not offer any treatment which is suitable for a man or a trans woman and therefore can refuse to treat them. The hospital can also refuse to adjust the way in which it provides the service.

🇪🇺🏳️‍🌈⚖️🇭🇺 A legal earthquake - CJEU finds Hungary to have violated EU law on multiple counts with its anti-LGBT+ legislation (as expected) but also for the first time in history, in an EU law-reshaping precedent, finds Hungary to violate Art 2 TEU in a self-standing manner.

More state sponsored eradication of trans kids. This policy can only cause harm. Glad we're still 'visible' though, cause meaningless platitudes are way better than healthcare @sarahowen.org.uk @nadiawhittomemp.bsky.social @kateosbornemp.bsky.social @labourlewis.bsky.social

#NHS #Transrights As expected, NHS published new guidelines for treating Children and Young Persons (CYP) experiencing gender incongruence. Whilst they may receive care, none of their care is aimed at treating gender incongruence. And somehow the NHS thinks that when a person turns 18,

"Group A" is people who supported transition affirming care. "Group B" is people who supported "exploratory therapy" instead, ie. conversion therapy. 99% of patients, 96% of LGBTQ+ people were in Group A. But they implemented "Group B" policies anyway.

Table 3. Positions by respondent type

Patient Group A 99% Group B 0%
LGBTQ+ individual Group A 96% Group B 4%
Has transgender friends or family Group A 84% Group B 14%
Service provider Group A 76% Group B 43%
Clinician Group A 49% Group B 43%
Parent Group A 45% Group B 51%
Member of the public Group A 45% Group B 51%
