Encrusted

Primum non nocere: First do no harm.

That plus the frenzied messaging. I would feel extremely uneasy with all that hectoring from a doctor. I think I would feel that way whether I agreed with the content or not, because it’s so…all about Dr Opinions instead of about what Dr Opinions is supposed to be doing.

Here is the lovely man talking lovingly about himself.

Me me me all about me – just what one wants in a doctor.

Even worse:

“#VisibleAllyship” she says – well yes, it is very visible, and is that really what medical staff are there for?

    Would they be allowed to wear buttons and badges for any other political campaign? Because let’s face it, that’s what this is, pressuring for a political lobby group, which makes very particular demands that effect patient care. Wards based on “gender” rather than sex; self-ID for staff (with TiMs giving intimate exams to female patients), etc.

    Dudely? Because women are negative pants?

    Many women will see all this “trans inclusion” as a threat, because almost all “trans inclusion” is at women’s expense. The doctor is essentially wearing a whole bunch of badges, all of which say “Hi, I prioritize men who pretend to be women over women.”

    A threat, an insult, a calculated attack. Women have become the enemy. I’m so tired of it.
