Hospital tells men to go right ahead and barge into women’s toilets.

A London hospital trust has told trans employees they can use the lavatories and changing rooms of their choice in a challenge to Wes Streeting.

Not to mention an insult and threat to women.

Why do we even have separate toilets and changing rooms for women and men? Oh that’s right, because some men enjoy sexually assaulting and intimidating women.

Guy’s and St Thomas’ trust’s new transgender equality policy tells all staff they must refer to everyone with the pronoun of their choice, even if they do not believe in gender ideology.

Seriously? Guy’s and St Thomas’s trust tell employees they have to memorize specialty pronouns for everyone they work with? Isn’t that a lot of extra mental work for no useful purpose?

It also advises managers not to disclose the trans status of a doctor or a nurse to patients, which campaigners fear could mean patients not being guaranteed intimate care by someone of the same sex.

To put it more bluntly (as journalism should, for the sake of clarity and understanding), it advises managers to put the frivolous demands of trans staffers ahead of the needs of patients. At this rate the patients will be told to get out of that bed so that the doctor can take a nice nap.

Fiona McAnena, the director of campaigns at women’s rights charity Sex Matters, said: “With the Darlington nurses and Sandie Peggie cases under way, it’s inexplicable that Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Trust has just produced a new policy stating that staff who identify as transgender can access the facilities of the ‘gender’ they identify as.

“The leadership of Guy’s and St Thomas’ needs to get a grip, pull this new policy and start again if the trust is to avoid becoming the latest NHS trust to face costly legal action because of reality-denying absurd policies and practices.”

Reality-denying and threatening to women.

The trust’s transgender policy, seen by The Telegraph, was drawn up by equalities officers and LGBT members of staff.

Controversially, it recognises “non-binary” identities, which are not recognised in law.

And don’t mean anything.

On toilets and changing rooms, the guidance states: “Facilities: provide access to gender-appropriate facilities. Gender-neutral options will also be made available where possible.

“Transgender people are accommodated according to the gender they identify with, rather than sex registered at birth, regardless of where they are on the transition journey.”

The guidance states that “everyone is addressed using the names and pronouns that they request at that moment in time”.

“At that moment in time” – so it can change from moment to moment, eh? Well that won’t be inconvenient at all. Nobody will use that rule to torment colleagues.

A spokesman for Guy’s and St Thomas’ said: “Transgender staff, like all our staff, deserve to be treated with kindness and respect in line with our Trust values. As an inclusive employer, it is important we ensure everyone is supported regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity.”

Including women who don’t want to share toilets with or be examined by men?

Tsssss, no, of course not. That would never do.
