This is where we are in history.This is what happened when a rape survivor wrote to her local hospital (Royal Sussex) requesting a natal female perform her mammogram. Her letter was used in the Trust’s trans policy as an example of ‘transphobia’. The hospital apologised for using her letter, but not for their attitude:
“However, it is not possible to guarantee to any patient that they will only be treated by a clinician assigned to a specific gender at birth and, as an organisation that prides itself on our commitment to diversity and inclusion, nor would we wish to do so.
“It is also important that patients see the clinician most skilled to deal with their medical concern. We recognise our employees by the gender they identify as on a daily basis as it is essential that we respect the gender identity of all our staff.

The NHS trust which runs the Royal Sussex has apologised to a rape survivor for including her letter requesting awww.brightonandhovenews.org
He’s so spineless when it comes to trans issues (and other issues, come to that), trying to keep both ‘sides’ happy. Just tit or get off the pot.
Presumably that poor woman has felt a lump and gone to her doctor who has referred her for a mammogram (I've been there, it is terrifying even if you get a good outcome)
This woman has made a perfectly reasonable request to be seen by only female staff. Not
only has this request been refused, she's been branded a bigot. She's got 1 of 2 choices. Have the mammogram, which is scary but with the added anxiety of the possibility of a man being there against her wishes. Or she refuses treatment, which could ultimately lead to her death.
This NHS trust are choosing to stand by looking woke and to let women suffer and possibly die.
This is where we are.
I was under the impression that medical staff couldn't pick and choose who they treated? When they take their oath don't they promise to help everyone? NHS staff (especially paramedic and A&E staff) are assaulted and abused often by patients but they still go on to treat those patients. Why should some nurses get spat on and assaulted carry on helping people but others who get offended by hurty words be able to bow out of helping?
Sorry, I know I'm ranting but I've had enough of this tit.
Very grateful for this little corner of the Internet were I am safe and I don't feel like I'm going insane. X
