Comment on NHS charter to stress biological sex when placing patients in wards

This is the right behind “Martha’s rule”, which is being introduced in the NHS, to ensure patients know they can ask for a second opinion, with[ the government providing funding to hospitals for posters and leaflets informing patients and their families.

Martha Mills died aged 13, after being admitted to King’s College Hospital, south London, in 2021, having injured her pancreas slipping on to the handlebars of her bike while cycling.

She later developed sepsis - but with better care, could have survived, an inquest found.

So they’re using the death of a child who was killed due to NHS incompetence to make trans people more likely to receive incompetent care or no care at all. Very cool and normal country.
