The Telegraph reports:

Patients may be found guilty of discrimination if they refuse the care of a transgender medic, according to new NHS guidance.

Health bosses have been warned that patients have no right to be told a healthcare worker’s assigned sex at birth.

No rights for patients; rights are only for transgender nurses and doctors. Patients are scum, transgender nurses and doctors are Ascended Beings.

However, transgender health workers can choose not to treat patients if they feel uncomfortable doing so, the report by NHS Confederation says.

Of course, because only transgender people have rights. Non-transgender people have only the obligation to submit.

The report, published earlier this month in partnership with the LGBT Foundation, says patients can only request care from a same-sex staff member in limited circumstances, such as if they are having an intimate examination.

It states that when a patient requests an employee administering care to be a woman or a man, “the comfort of the staff member should be prioritised”.

I thought I was being very slightly hyperbolic, but no, they actually say it out loud. The priority is not the patient, the priority is the staff member. If it were a matter of violent patients I could see saying the safety of staff is the priority, but this is the “comfort,” meaning the comfort of being affirmed in a fantasy.

Patients with dementia “should still be challenged” if they express discriminatory views about transgender staff, the 97-page guide states, while their relatives “may be removed from the premises” if they do the same.

But a non-binary medic can refuse to treat a patient, with the advice stating they “should not be forced to deliver care if this would cause undue distress or invalidate their lived experience of gender”.
