THE Conservatives have announced plans to ban trans women from being treated in female hospital wards.
THE Conservatives have sparked outrage with plans to ban trans women from being treated in female hospital wards.A spokesperson said:"This is a cynical attempt by the Secretary of State to ‘look busy’ instead of getting on with the graft of implementing the women’s health strategy, and, besides being unworkable, all it will achieve is to restrict access to healthcare for trans women, by making it humiliating and dangerous.
"It does not mean spending huge sums of taxpayers’ money on diversity consultants or hiring bloated internal diversity and inclusion teams.The Health Secretary explains why he"ordered a reversal of unacceptable changes to the NHS website that erased references to women for conditions such as cervical cancer".“And it does not mean ignoring patient voices, especially women’s voices, when it comes to the importance of biological sex in healthcare.
He was backed by Home Secretary Suella Braverman who said that “trans women have no place in women’s wards or indeed any safe space relating to biological women”.
