Either it was a woman (trans or cis) that didn't look feminine enough for her, or, what is far more likely IMHO, it's just entirely made up.

If you ask a general audience which slurs for minorities are offensive, rather than asking the minorities in question, you're going to get pretty terrible results!

If true that's ridoculous. How e.g. cis people view the use of the t-slur (which is now "more acceptable" after the watershed) should be completely irrelevent.

btw NHS England no longer exists as a quango. It has been merged with the DHSC for more than a year now. Don’t let them evade responsibility. Headlines should read Andy Burnham and Yvette Cooper order segregation.

Ah so it's a first preference - not the only ward, I see! Thanks for the reply :) (Although I do think it's perhaps a missed opportunity not to stand two).

you would need to be placed on the emergency ward 116 times before you had even a 50% chance of having sharing the ward with a trans woman once

Are you standing two candidates in the ward? Because I've seen both you and the other councillor standing for selection.

I literally can't sleep because of the whole NHS bullshit. I studied quite far, but there's many smarter than me. In the earliest months of my MSc, genetic variation and expression was the topic and wow is it a lot! Then infections and the effects of different hormone responses.

1.5°C is the threshold heads of state gave each other back in 2016, the boundary at which life is threatened & change is irreversible. Last year, we were at 1.37°C. There is no time to waste. Transition to renewables. Stop fossil fuels. Save the planet & all lives on it.

The UK implementing the mandated segregation of trans people in aspects of society, from bathrooms to hospitals and schools is why I tell people to never vote for anti-trans Dems. They cannot be allowed to spread in the party like the cancer they are. www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

The NHS's revised guidance on single-sex wards is cruel, unworkable and LGBTIQA+ Greens calls on Labour to withdraw it and reform the Equality Act.
The NHS revised guidance does not offer privacy, dignity or safety to trans people. 
Placing trans people on the incorrect “same-sex” hospital wards by default is wrong and unworkable, which is why it also states exceptions for clinical need and a mention of alternative provision. 
This is a continuation of the incomprehensible interpretation of the Equality Act 2010 that the supreme court ruled for. We call on the Labour government to withdraw this guidance and reform the Equality Act to end the policing of trans people in single gendered spaces.

The SNP Conference has voted that the SNP Government must present a bill to ban conversion practices to the Scottish Government if the Westminster bill is not sufficient by the end of THIS YEAR. ScotGov is bound by both its manifesto and party members now. www.thenational.scot/news/2664082...

There is no potential path for the Westminster bill to correct its glaring issues and enormous loopholes by the end of this year, that will not happen. It is time for the SNP Government to stop dragging their heels and bring their draft bill to the table. No more delays.

Striking how ideologically-captured the BBC has become when looking at its reporting on trans hospital changes, and just how much heavy lifting 'biological sex' is doing. Explaining that a woman with a vulva, breasts, and typically female hormone profile should be put on a men's ward? Difficult...

...but putting their handy little explanation that a trans woman is a 'biological male' who 'identifies' as a woman, and suddenly the reality of so many trans women's lives and healthcare needs - not to mention safety, privacy, and dignity - completely erased. Entirely divorced from reality.

I don't want those of us who see how dangerous the platform has become to point fingers and blame each other for how each individual or organisation responds. The critical thing that's needed - and woefully missing - is action by Government and regulators.
