Trans NHS staff can treat patients who request same-sex care for intimate procedures, a report suggests.
But which sex are we classifying them as here? Origin or claim?

I wonder about the likelihood of encountering such a person within the nhs (as opposed, say, to the teaching profession or in a Scottish women’s shelter) and hoped the 2021 Census would indicate the overall population percentage which would at least be a starting point. However I was stymied by the following definition on the ONS website:-
Sex (2 categories)
This is the sex recorded by the person completing the census. The options were “Female” and “Male”.
https://www.ons.gov.uk/datasets/TS009/editions/2021/versions/1#get-data
Does this mean the Census has dispensed with biology. Was my self-definition as an attack helicopter just a waste of time.
Is this just on the psych wards?
Can the patient choose whether to be intimately proceeded upon by a man, woman or something in between? Thought not.
The census also had a box: sex at birth. I haven’t seen those statistics released yet, the cynic in me thinks they’re too low to be politically acceptable. Though I wouldn’t be surprised if lots of people stubbornly insisted that their birth sex was the same as their new sex, so destroying the entire point of having the question in the first place.
Where is it cheaper to get a chick to grab your balls nowadays, a whore house or a doctor’s office?
Not wholly sure you’ve got the correct desired activity in either place there
@Dbdbfjf
I believe the person in the whore house is likely to be kinder on the stated parts than the average doctor’s receptionist. There is insufficient recent data to assess the treatment of a medically qualified person…
Grrr
“of” should obviously be “by”.
Thinking about the procedure had caused momentarily blurred vision…
My 2011 form was “lost in the post”. Apparently.
I thought it might look a tad suspicious if the 2021 census form met the same fate, so I filled in the name and address sections and stubbornly ignored the rest.
Is it possible to object to being treated by someone who is demonstrably mentally ill?
Patients have always been able to refuse treatment, no one can lays hands on someone if they object. What they can’t do is demand someone of their desired sex, gender, race, religion etc. The staff will try and be helpful of course – but availability will depend on one who is on shift and their qualifications, but if they can’t oblige, bad luck – they are under no legal or moral obligation to do so.
It should be noted that, apart from a few, women don’t object to male gynaecologists, men don’t object to female GPs and most people are happy with either male or female nurses. Those that want to demand special treatment can go private – the NHS is busy enough as it is.
As whatever they claim, of course.
And if you comain about it I (or about being treated by someone with an admitted mental illness ‘body dysmorphia’) then the NHS will just censure you and probably withdraw your treatment privileges.
“men don’t object to female GPs and”
Most men actually do. You don’t see it because they arrange for a male doctor from the outset and, in emergencies when you aren’t in a position to choose, just suck it up.
” What they can’t do is demand someone of their desired sex, gender, race, religion etc. The staff will try and be helpful of course – but availability will depend on one who is on shift and their qualifications, but if they can’t oblige, bad luck – they are under no legal or moral obligation to do so”
There’s yer problem. People don’t get to have a relationship with their doctor. They’re just seen by whoever. No continuity of care. And I disagree that there is no moral obligation in a system that forcibly takes your money to fund itself.
And, FFS, in the US, us horrible capitalists that will leave you to die in the streets, can manage it.
I thought the point of the NHS was that you didn’t have treatment priviledges, you had treatment rights. GIMMIE MY RIGHTS!!!
can I request to be treated by a medical profession that believes in actual biology rather than a politicised biology that ignores evolution?
If I’m going to have my private parts looked at, I’d much rather it was a female.
If/when I get to the stage of erectile dysfunction, how would explaining that to a man be better than older female doctor?
Females wanting females I get, because there are so many creeps, but men?
Be interesting to see what happens when this ruling runs into the various religious groups with very different views on the matter.
“A report suggests” – a very convenient phrasing to allow one to reach any conclusion one wishes to
@Chester… I can also recommend seeing a female GP when comes the time to have your prostate checked… Smaller hands with slimmer fingers!! 🙂
