Medical whistleblowers speak to Al Jazeera about gender identity replacing sex in the UK healthcare system and the risks it poses to patients.
Many feel unable to speak out for fear of being harassed and the focus of activist bullying campaigns.
The past year I’ve seen people defend men pretending to have periods, rapists in women’s prisons and men using their infants to suckle on the galactorrhea from their hormone-enlarged chests.
And if you so much as say ‘hang on a minute…’ you’re called a bigot.
True to form,
@Independent
brilliantly encapsulates gender identity by having a man explain what a woman is. On International Women’s Day.
And, of course, it all about feelings and fictitious characters.
This is just one example of how much gender identity ideology has captured the medical profession.
Gynaecologists deal with the female reproductive system.
This is not reassuring. Not one bit.
When
@Nike
penalised Allyson Felix, the most decorated American track athlete ever, for becoming pregnant, they knew what a woman was. No surprise they’re getting pushback for promoting Dylan Mulvaney who, conveniently for them, will never get pregnant

Ahead of the Olympics, one of the highlights was that of the female Afghan refugee breakdancer who escaped the Taliban and went on to gain a place at the games… where she was then disqualified for wearing a "Free Afghan Women" cape.
Where is the outrage?
The fact that a man - who does not have a GRC - is still in charge of a major rape crisis centre when the position was specifically open only to women tells you everything you need to know about the confusion and manipulation surrounding the issue.

Believers in gender identity say that a woman is anyone who says they’re a woman and that it’s an unprovable feeling that determines who is male, female, or even neither.
Taking this at face value, a man is also someone who declares themselves to be.
So why does this not work

It's great to see men being so supportive of Schafer in this thread.
It shows how they're getting used to seeing others of their sex in make-up and dresses.
These men should lead the way in making other men like Schafer welcome in male bathrooms.
I will state up front, this is a trans woman.
Her name is Hunter Schafer.
And the GC crowd is adamant that she should use the male bathroom. They would also say that they could totally tell that she was trans, I doubt it, but that’s what they say.

Years have been lost to upholding this myth that Caster Semenya is a woman. He isn’t. He is a man with a DSD, 5-ARD, which only affects males.
He produces normal levels of testosterone for a man.
When people claim that Semenya was banned from the women's category for having "naturally high levels of testosterone," it's important to remember that it's because Semenya is biologically male and has testes.

Imagine having a DSD - Difference of Sex Development - and seeing your condition weaponised by a pseudoscientific movement and you see this sign at the hospital?

This plainly isn’t accurate.
Journalists should pursue this and ask

The hypocrisy of western organisations on breast binding:
Left picture shows an unacceptable form of child abuse.
Right picture is ‘healthcare’ to bring about “trans joy”.
Both of them have exactly the same dangers.
Again - and I don’t understand why this doesn’t happen - the inclusive and brave option is for these men to win in male categories.
They are men and it is up to other men to budge-up and accept that men come in all different forms.
Not for women to be denied opportunities.
A man (who claims to be a woman) has been nominated for a “best supporting actress” Emmy Award.
*ahem*
When a man takes a woman’s place in the name of “inclusion”, a woman misses out. She doesn’t have other options like he does, like he could/should be on the men’s shortlist.
Not one mention of the fact that the suspect is a trans-identifying man.
It calls the suspect a woman.
Not even a ‘trans woman’ - but a “woman”.
This is a serious abnegation of the BBC’s impartiality code.

“Extreme misogyny” is not just a Tate- shaped phenomenon. There are plenty of other ways men have dehumanised and degraded women.
Ask any woman who’s dared to use her voice to defend her sex-based rights.

This is pretty pathetic- never heard of this man, looked him up here and found myself blocked.

This is not an outlier point of view from trans-identifying men.

Nothing will rip away at the credibility of BBC News more than its fixation on gender identity.
The public are not fooled by this. Even those who remain silent understand, know instinctively that these men are as female as the planet earth is flat.

Paedophile changes his name to Sophie and wears pink to court so of course he’s a woman. Every day another man abuses this ideology and the courts/press/politicians fall over themselves to help him so they can avoid being called names. Spineless.

Perfectly put. It’s astonishing how Ronson deems his obsession with Graham’s ostracism more worthy than Graham’s tenacity for exposing how young gay and lesbian adolescents were undergoing a revamp of the Turing treatment at gender clinics.
Extraordinary how this NHS Trust has forcibly changed this female changing room in to a mixed sex one.
It’s encouraging sexual harassment by forcing female staff to get undressed in front of male staff.
They give away so much so easily.

The term ‘gender-affirming healthcare’ is a total misnomer. Everyone, especially the doctors engaging in this understand that it’s purely cosmetic. It’s yet another way for gender activists to evade the fact that it’s based on vanity, the superficial, and, ultimately, narcissism.

When US media give sympathetic coverage to a man who allegedly watched women undress, sometimes with an erection, because he says he’s trans, it’s pretty obvious that the
