biology is important

Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Trust issued an 18-page diversity and inclusion policy forcing medics to accept patients’ personal pronouns. 

 Should not confront patients using single-sex facilities regardless of their appearance. 

 The trust’s trans policy, which came into effect in February last year according to the Daily Mail, said staff must say sorry to patients if they made mistakes relating to a patient’s pronouns. It also ordered them to make a “commitment to try harder” if they made mistakes about patients’ preferred pronouns. 

 Victoria Atkins, Health Secretary “I am crystal clear: biological sex matters, and the language used by the NHS needs to recognise the different biological needs of men and women,” 

 “Illnesses and conditions that we know impact men and women differently should be communicated in a clear and accurate way.

 “NHS staff must be allowed to get on with the job of caring for patients, not tiptoeing around trans guidance. “the Government’s proposed update to the NHS constitution makes clear what patients can expect from NHS services in meeting their needs, including the biological needs of the sexes.” 

 Miriam Cates, MP and women’s rights campaigner “Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Trust seems to have gone through the looking glass into a world where biological sex doesn’t exist, and where the safety and dignity of vulnerable patients is ignored in the interests of being seen to adhere to a ridiculous ideology.

 “It is shocking that an organisation dedicated to evidence-based practice can be so blind to the reality of the differences between men and women.” Baroness Nicholson “This NHS trust seems to be deliberately ignoring the Health Secretary whose guidance declares that sex overrules gender in all medical matters,”

 “The NHS seems determined to follow its own unscientifically proven agenda; does this trust not recognise that male and female health profoundly differs? 

 And that calling a man ‘her’ may so easily result in a nurse handing out the wrong medicines for the patient’s condition?”
