Idiocracy really is here.
Colonialism is to blame for imposing the male-female divide on society, NHS staff are being told in official hospital policies.
Health trust documents obtained by the Daily Mail also state that adults who take hormone therapy are going through puberty, and that men who identify as women can be lesbians.
We are a mammalian species. Mammals are sexually dimorphic and the two sexes have differing roles and behaviours. This applies to every single mammal on the planet. It has nothing to do with colonialism and everything to do with the survival of the species. It’s basic biology, just as it’s basic biology that men cannot become women and vice versa. That we have a healthcare provider that is denying this, is deeply worrying.
Tory MP Miriam Cates, who is a former science teacher, said: ‘It is a travesty that so many NHS trusts are now engaged in divisive political activism and are promoting extremist political views about gender theory – views that have no basis in reality and are a threat to the safety of women.
Precisely. Now, can your government get off its arse and do something about it, please? Any time about now would do, if you don’t mind.
That so many NHS trusts have time for this suggests that they have too much time on their hands and even less regard for the original purpose of the NHS.
Well, it’s not surprising they have so much time on their hands, when you see the utter shambles of an NHS ‘service’ up close and personal…
Now, can your government get off its arse and do something about it, please?
There’s the problem.
We need to do something about it.
Have you considered running for office, joining or setting up a party?
Without actually doing somehting, all we’re doing is pissing into the wind…
I’ve reached an age where I am too tired to do that. I was politically active when younger – the wrong side as it turned out. Also, it’s an uphill battle to overcome our electoral system. I’ll vote Reform when the time comes. I’ll talk about it here and elsewhere in an attempt to change hearts and minds, but that’s all the energy I have.
Me. I’ll vote for Herr A Hitler if he was our ballot paper.
Having observed a family member go through it, I’d say they have a point about hormone therapy equating to puberty. The problem is that while one expects – and makes allowances for – unreasonable behaviour and frequent emotional outbursts from hormonal mid-teens, it is much more problematic when it happens in a student or an adult of working age;.
Fortunately my relative was intelligent enough to recognise that he was not his usual rational, level-headed self and had the self-control to avoid any public debate and walk away from potential arguments. I suspect much of the antagonism surrounding the whole business is because many transitioning activists lack the good sense to do the same.
It’s sadly typical that the NHS appear to be acknowledging this phenomenon while, at the same time, producing endless initiatives effectively designed to appease the equivalent of Kevin the teenager.
“Colonialism is to blame for imposing the male-female divide on society,”
In Japan? China? The Muslim nations? Fuck off. (Of course, if they want to talk about colonialism as practiced by those peoples… but something tells me they don’t.)
“Adults who take hormone therapy are going through puberty.”
Using this logic, women on hormone replacement therapy as a result of the menopause are going through puberty. The NHS really is a lost cause, isn’t it? And I’m not going to bother commenting on the ludicrous notion that men who identify as women are lesbians.
Miss Chips – I’m interested to hear more about your first hand experiences of this issue; are you willing to elaborate?
I do believe that there are a tiny minority that genuinely feel they were born in the wrong body, who should be afforded all reasonable efforts to live as best a life as they can. Unfortunately this has been jumped upon by the usual suspects so we must be ready to resist the bullshit, but that’s not to say we shouldn’t keep an open mind…
Not my story to tell, so I won’t give too many details, but this is someone who is living a quiet and conventional life – happily married, successful career in software engineering – who always felt that his brain didn’t match the body he was born in (‘a software/hardware incompatibility issue’ as he puts it; interestingly, this hypothesis is supported by recent research into the structure of trans people’s brains).
He played a long game (I said he was intelligent) and did not begin transitioning until university, having (typically) chosen one with a good record for supporting trans students which would allow him to enrol with his new identity. He has always hated confrontation or being the centre of attention and, following lengthy discussions with family, decided to regard living in the ‘wrong’ gender at school (pronouns, uniform, changing rooms etc) as a temporary exercise in role-playing; being a reasonable sort, he negotiated concessions on clothing and sport and the adoption of a gender-neutral name by being an exemplary pupil in other areas (he was voted ‘best-dressed sixth-former’ by his peers and won several school prizes).
The sad thing is that nobody seems to be advising young trans people on ways to to avoid confrontation – being willing to forgive accidental misgendering, for example, or negotiating rather than demanding concessions and special treatment – in part, at least, because of the immediate condemnation such an approach would elicit from militant activists; add raging hormones into the mix and you have a highly volatile situation which is already costing people their livelihoods and reputations and risks provoking the backlash we all fear on our relative’s behalf.
You know, I’m starting to believe that colonialism was caused by colonialism.
I’d say colonialism is simply the name the rest give to Europeans behaving just the way they do.
The NHS is now a political organisation that occasionally – when it doesn’t interrupt the smooth(!) running of the organisation – delivers healthcare. I had hopes that the Tories would scrap the socialist model, which guarantees absence of something so disgusting as competition, would be replaced by something more advanced where hospitals and doctors who delivered the best treatments got the most money. But we all know how that turned out.
If only some country had a model that we could copy…
I’ve told the people at work that I’ve changed to being a woman but decided that I’m also a Lesbian. Kind of cancels it out but has added me to the protected list.
I only activate my changes when I’ve fucked up at work and pressure is growing. I usually start with ‘I didn’t have this hassle before I became a woman’ Total silence after that and I don’t hear anything again. Everyone is running scared.
