Also remember:. - EHRC did not undertake any work regarding their Public Sector Equality Duty before releasing their interim guidance on single sex spaces,.- EHRC has clearly stated that the interim guidance is not statutory.

Funny how the sorts of people calling the @TheBMA misogynistic for including trans people are also tweeting and messaging me like this. Anyhow, time to go private mode on Twitter again.

Even if you're no fan of trans people, you should recognise this as an overreach of the state into people's lives, done on a political whim, using a manufactured concern. Sure, it's trans people today, but what about tomorrow? Are you comfortable with that risk? 4/.

Even the Labour party didn't have the stomach to allow an amended Bill which did what the Lewisham division are asking for: the erasure of trans people's identities from national records. 3/.

On May 12, the Data (Use and Access) Bill, also known as the UK data protection reform, came back to the House of Lords for what was supposed to be its final stage.

The argument about having good 'sex data' rather than relying on self-identified gender is nonsensical, as there are very few trans people. It is, rather, a cover to try and force the world of medicine to further marginalise trans patients. 2/.

Glad to see this shameful ARM motion from @TheBMA division in Lewisham has been relegated to Part 2 and is unlikely to be discussed. Refusing to let trans people have the correct gender markers would out them immediately and be a huge safety issue. 1/

By the way, that's not an appropriate way to load a caribiner; tri-axial loading potentially reduces the breaking strength. Better to secure the upper two ropes together and then attach to one.

LGBTQ + individuals still face many barriers in UK surgical care, but advocacy groups and surgeons are driving progress toward equity, inclusive policies and cultural change in the profession.
