The NHS knows that its new policy is going to harm patients, and it's doing it anyway. It is an active choice being made by this Labour government – don't let them pretend their hands are bound.

I keep hearing about mythical discrimination lawyers willing to help trans people facing serious workplace discrimination. Well, I need one. What’s happening at work is taking a serious toll. If you are such a lawyer who can help, I need you to step up to help me NOW. I need action ❤️

Having allowed the EHRC to create a convoluted unworkable guidance based on a perverse SC ruling, they now find themselves trying to make it work internally as the employer ! If it wasn’t such an utter disaster it would be funny…

The head of the EHRC Mary Ann Stephenson made up as a clown with ridiculous bow tie, red noise & tiny hat

THE EHRC'S NEW CODE:
"EXPLAINED"

Don't check.

Unless somebody complains.

Then you might need to check.

But there's no way to check.

Cis people really think that if they just repeatedly say that they are treating everyone with respect, dignity, compassion and care enough times that we won't notice that what they're actually doing to trans people is the absolute opposite of that. www.england.nhs.uk/long-read/pr...

A screenshot of text saying 'All patients "should be treated with respect, dignity, compassion and care", the report said, adding that "trans people and others with the protected characteristic of gender reassignment should be accommodated in line with the biological sex".'

Yes, the new NHSE guidance is bad but does not bind HCPs to admitting trans patients to wards for asab. It instead posits that as the policy default, but allows derogations from that where it’s not ‘clinically appropriate’. In reality it hands far too much power and confusion to individual HCPs

Movie posters that could only be put up in British railway stations, one of a series of probably one.

An ad for a ghost movie with the tagline "See it. Séance. Haunted."; a reference to the British Transport Police's long-running "See it. Say it. Sorted." ads encouraging the public to report anything vaguely suspicious.

Their excuse will be that it’s a political statement so had to be neutral but we know it’s because they can’t show an ounce of humanity to us
