Stopping or refusing basic trans healthcare isn’t just dangerous and unethical. It is in defiance of the General Medical Council, which tells doctors that “you must not refuse to provide a patient with medical services because the patient is proposing to undergo, is undergoing, or has undergone gender reassignment.” And it’s the result of endless scaremongering and demonisation in the press and by politicians.
From the quote, not treating ‘flu because the person is or is proposing etc is unethical. Not referring for trans treatment itself isn’t – in that wording quoted – covered at all.
I think the thrust, as it were, is that if a deluded, confused female turns up and says “I want my tits off” the doctor is supposed to be obliged to say yes. Or, conversely, “Cock and balls off, is it? Step right this way, madam. We’ll make a cunt out of this lot in no time.”
I wonder what the waiting list and time for these procedures is? Compared with those for piles, hernias, pacemakers, coronary bypasses, prostate pullthroughs, cancer treatment?

Hillary Cass must be jailed for abusing the human rights of trans people. Her report will go down in history as one of the greatest human tragedies, alongside the likes of killing fields, thalidomide, Harold Shipman, contaminated blood scandal, one-child policy & Agent Orange.

I wonder whether “Sophie Molly” (name assigned at birth, d’you think?) knows what a Y chromosome is, and what it does, in common, across all living species?
Is Sophie Molly another Titania McGrath-style parody account?
Norman – the fragrant Sophie describes xirself as:
Progressive lefty/feminist. Political Activist/Songwriter. Outperformed Posie Parker in the 2024 General Election. SNP Member. Trans people are beautiful ️⚧️
Apparently this person was too… excitable… for the Green Party, so xe joined the SNP. 225 Aberdonians voted for xim.
The Limp Cock o’ the North initit.
Steve, I just had a quick Gurgle for a picture of “Sophie Molly”. Dear oh dear. This, sadly, is the downside of modern public health measures and the consequent reduction in child mortality.
Oh, as is the African population.
Norman – you don’t think Sophie is a fine wee lass, a bonny wee lass?
Steve, I wouldn’t – not even with yours. Not only is whatever may be under that skirt far too unfascinating, can you imagine just how unpleasant the whole interaction would be? I would happily cross the road to avoid this person, even were it a 6-lane dual carriageway at rush hour.
Norman – I would rather be killed and eaten, and not necessarily in that order, by pumas.
Just as the gypsy lady foretold.
Why did I read this thread? I was doing well, staying away from the pub during the week, saving myself for the weekend. I was going to have a quiet night in. But no. I looked up Sophie Molly and found the YouTube page where it sings about poverty and how it is a prison.
Christ on a bike, that noise will haunt me for a month! I need the pub ASAP.
Salamander, if you’re curious about whether someone confirms your prejudices (they nearly always do), stop at pictures. Just the one will do.
Sophie Molly is “well kent” over at Wings (its actual name is Euan Weddell), with several blogs or references in blogs about it. One is below, and this is mild compared to others.

Perhaps, with a bit of luck, Mr. Weddell can contribute to that.
Having glanced at Sophie, my sympathy for J K Rowling has actually increased!!
Shouldn’t be refused treatment. In most cases correct treatment would involve a long sleeved jacket and a nice soft room. Possibly some Benzodiazepan.
In pursuit of research on Sophie Molly in particular and self-improvement more generally, my browser took me to a Pink News article on how “trans” candidates performed at the recent general election.
I was taken aback by the section headed, appropriately enough, Charley Hasted – Liberal Democrats, Barking, who has more chins than she had testicles even in her hey-day and these at the risk of labouring the point are liberally and democratically endowed with unsightly hair.
Given that the NHS just refused to authorise treatment of an Alzheimer’s drug on the basis of cost/benefit it should be clear that there is no overarching right to treatment in the UK

The Muslim vote’s treatment would comprise a tall building and a strong pair of hands frankly a la Palestine.
Reading the blogs/ social media profiles of either of the men referred to in the screed and the comments this is one area where I think most people would support them as well.
It will be fun to see their reaction after assisted suicide is legalised:
“You want gender affirming surgery? Do you know how much that will cost our beloved NHS? Have you considered assisted suicide to protect the NHS?”
@Boganboy, I never rated JKRowling as an author, but as a champion of common sense she’s proving herself a real queen!
