NHS Pulls Back From Gender Ideology
The NHS is updating its policies to ensure clarity and protection in healthcare, including banning terms like “chestfeeding” and prioritising same-sex intimate care
The Telegraph has the story.
Victoria Atkins, the Health Secretary, will this week announce a series of changes to the NHS constitution which sets out patients’ rights.
Referring to “people who have ovaries” rather than “women” will also be prohibited under plans to ensure hospitals use clear language based on biological sex.
The new constitution will ban transgender women from being treated on single-sex female hospital wards to ensure women and girls receive “privacy and protection” in hospitals.
Patients will also be given the right to request that intimate care is carried out by someone of the same biological sex.
It follows concerns from patients about biological men being allowed in women’s hospital wards. NHS guidance has previously stated that trans patients could be placed in single-sex wards on the basis of the gender with which they identified.
Kemi Badenoch, the Women and Equalities Minister, has backed calls for a public inquiry into the “pervasive influence” of transgender ideology in the NHS.
The new NHS constitution will emphasise the importance of using “sex-specific” language in the health service after references to women were expunged from advice on the menopause and diseases such as cervical and ovarian cancer. …
The document sets out the rights of patients and medical staff. All NHS bodies, as well as private and third-sector providers that supply NHS services, are required by law to take it into account when making decisions.
The Telegraph also reveals here how Wales is increasingly becoming a safe haven for trans extremists.

“changes to the NHS constitution which sets out patients’ rights.”
Meaningless words from an organization that tramples Nuremberg with every opportunity.
